UNSPSC 13102001: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ABS

UNSPSC 13102001 Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ABS (Commodity) addresses thermoplastic pavement marking materials and equipment that state and local governments buy to install and maintain road stripes, lane markings, and pavement markers. While the code name references ABS resin chemistry, the recent opportunities reveal that procurement under this code actually spans thermoplastic striping raw materials in granular or pelletized form, thermoplastic applicator machines and trailers, and installation services. State and local buyers include city public works departments and county transportation agencies across the Southeast, Southwest, and California, with city-level solicitations representing the largest share of recent activity.

Recent opportunities span raw material supply, equipment procurement, and application services. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 260348 (due July 17, 2026) for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material specified in 50-pound bags with strict composition and packaging requirements, commencing February 15, 2027 under a five-year term with firm-fixed pricing for year one. Harris County, Texas issued ITB 260116 (due June 8, 2026) for a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system including premelter trailer and quick-change dies, requiring forty-five-day delivery. Installation work appears in multiple jurisdictions: the City of Fort Worth issued a unit-price on-call contract (CPN 106517, closed February 19, 2026) covering 198 line items for thermoplastic and preformed markings across the city; Santa Clara County issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0596 for as-needed thermoplastic striping and pavement marker installation; and Fort Bend County issued IFB 26-038 (closed February 24, 2026) for a term contract covering grinding, primer application, thermoplastic coating, and raised pavement marker installation. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Phoenix, Dallas, Fort Worth, Harris County, Fort Bend County), California (Santa Clara County), and Georgia (Bryan County, Savannah, South Fulton), with prevailing wage compliance and licensing requirements (California Class A or C32, Georgia-certified inspectors) common across solicitations.
