UNSPSC 13000000: Resin and Rosin and Rubber and Foam and Film and Elastomeric Materials

This segment includes rubber and plastic material, including elastomers that are used in manufacturing and construction

UNSPSC 13000000 Resin and Rosin and Rubber and Foam and Film and Elastomeric Materials is a Segment code that encompasses raw and engineered materials such as polymers, elastomers, films, foams, and natural resins used across infrastructure, construction, environmental remediation, and event management. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little activity that aligns with the nominal scope — the most prominent solicitation is the County of Orange's special event rental equipment procurement (astroturf, foam-based staging, linens, and related items), which represents only a peripheral match. The remaining opportunities span pavement management (slurry seal polymers), forestry herbicide application, affordable housing construction, rideshare logistics, instructional materials for school districts, and airport capital planning — activities that touch materials within the code's taxonomy but do not center on resin, rubber, foam, or elastomeric procurement as primary deliverables. The mix of issuing bodies includes county departments (Orange County, California), state environmental and energy offices (Connecticut DEEP), local housing authorities (Morris Housing Authority, Connecticut), independent school districts (Pflugerville ISD, Texas), municipalities (City of Peoria, Arizona), and airport authorities (John Wayne Airport, California).

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Connecticut, with recent solicitations also posted from Texas and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange's special event rental equipment IFB (response due October 23, 2026) spanning 63 line items with an on-call three-year initial term and no guaranteed annual volumes; the City of Peoria's pavement management preservation IFB (due May 22, 2026) for polymer-modified slurry seal application with an estimated annual expenditure of $1.7 million and a five-year term; and the Connecticut DEEP's Nye-Holman State Forest invasives project ITB (due July 7, 2026) requiring licensed herbicide application across 61 acres with mandatory follow-up treatment. The code shows sparse recent activity with genuine alignment to elastomeric or foam material procurement — the segment appears underutilized or misclassified in current state and local taxonomy application.
