UNSPSC 13101720: Polyether block amide PEBA

UNSPSC 13101720 Polyether block amide PEBA is a Commodity code with nominal scope in specialty polymer materials, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect that category. Instead, the opportunities show procurement for chemical commodities including calcium chloride for ice control, liquid hydrogen peroxide, and herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides—products unrelated to polyether block amide. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a taxonomy mapping error in the source systems or that this code sees little activity aligned with its nominal definition in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities span three states: Michigan, Georgia, and Florida, with issuing bodies including a city department (City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement), a county government (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and a county public works function (Pasco County, Florida). The Detroit RFQ for calcium chloride, posted September 30, 2026 with quotes due October 14, 2026, sought 200,000 gallons for vendor-site loading and 100,000 gallons for delivery to a city storage tank, with Detroit-based vendor preferences of 1% to 5% pricing credit available. The Pasco County IFB-SP-26-074 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides, posted May 12, 2026 with bids due June 16, 2026, covered a three-year contract period through September 30, 2029 with two optional one-year extensions, and offered local vendor preference consideration. A Gwinnett County IWQ for liquid hydrogen peroxide (posted September 8, 2026, quotes due September 15, 2026) and an Eastern Municipal Water District RFP for biofilter rehabilitation (posted June 22, 2026, proposals due July 24, 2026) also appear under this code. Given the misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations, this code shows little relevant recent activity for polyether block amide products or materials in state and local procurement.
