UNSPSC 12171700: Color compounds and dispersions

UNSPSC 12171700 Color compounds and dispersions is a Class code under which state and local governments procure specialized finishing products for facility maintenance, specifically floor waxes and related surface treatments applied across school districts and other public properties. The recent activity shows purchasing departments buying branded floor-care products meeting rigorous performance specifications — including slip-resistance standards, coverage rates, and chemical stability requirements — in bulk quantities delivered on standing or as-needed contracts. Issuing bodies under this code include large school districts with multi-campus operations; Clayton County Public Schools, serving over 52,000 students across 67 schools in Georgia, has been the identified buyer in recent solicitations. The procurement structure typically includes single or multiple awards with renewal options, competitive bidding through online platforms, and compliance with local small-business set-asides where applicable.

Clayton County Public Schools issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB01126) on May 21, 2026, for Spartan Millennia Bright Dura Gloss Laminate Floor Wax with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, requesting an estimated 2,500 five-gallon pails annually for district-wide use. The specification requires static coefficient of friction meeting or exceeding 0.5 per ASTM D2047, coverage capacity up to 3,000 square feet per pail, and stability at 24°C/75°F for a minimum of one year. The district applies a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) contracting goal; bidders must demonstrate SLBE participation or document good faith efforts to comply. Submission required vendor registration in the Bonfire online system, proof of E-Verify enrollment, current Georgia business licenses, and $1 million comprehensive general liability and automobile liability coverage. The initial contract term runs one year with two optional one-year renewals, terminating June 30 each year. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held June 4, 2026 via Zoom, with questions due June 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Pricing was to be submitted on a per-unit basis, F.O.B.
