UNSPSC 13101721: Styrene block coploymer TES

UNSPSC 13101721 Styrene block copolymer TES, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity from state and local governments, with recent solicitations tagged to this code showing substantial mismatch between the taxonomy label and the work actually being bought. The recent opportunities in the dataset span pavement repair, sealant supply, asphalt paving, and concrete work — activities that fall under road maintenance and construction rather than specialty polymer materials. State and local buyers have tagged crack sealants, joint sealers, and asphalt concrete under this code, suggesting either misclassification in procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all for polymeric products used in pavement applications. The issuing bodies include city procurement departments (San Antonio Finance Department), county departments (Collin County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District, Illinois Department of Transportation), and special-purpose authorities (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport). Texas and California show the most recent activity.

The City of San Antonio Finance Department issued IFB 6100019897 on October 15, 2026, for PolyFlex Type 3 crack sealant packaged in 30–35 pound blocks, with bids due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time; materials must meet Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and ASTM standards for cone penetration, resilience, and ductility. The Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District solicited joint sealer and caulking guns under IFB 601340000066820 in August 2026, requesting Sikasil 728 RCS or TxDOT-approved equals, with delivery to a Lubbock facility and award on lowest price. Santa Clara County posted ITB-PRC-FY27-0066 on July 30, 2026, for Pavement Installation and Repair Services across county roads and pathways with an estimated contract sum of $2.5 million and bids due August 31, 2026. Collin County issued multiple road-materials solicitations in June and July 2026 for asphaltic concrete, liquid asphalts, and aggregates for surface treatments, all requiring delivery or pickup compliance with Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. The Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services requested quotations for deck sealant systems and epoxy polymer concrete products (RFQ17A26041300000000000259) due July 15, 2026, establishing a master agreement for all state departments on an as-needed basis. None of these opportunities directly match styrene block copolymer procurement; the code appears to be applied inconsistently to polymeric sealants and coatings that fall more precisely under asphalt concrete, joint sealing, and pavement-coating categories.
