UNSPSC 13102005: Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylic ASA

UNSPSC 13102005 Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylic ASA is a Commodity code covering thermoplastic pavement marking raw materials — specifically acrylic-based binders and compounded thermoplastic pellet or granule formulations used in hot-applied road striping and pavement marking systems. State and local governments procure this material as a finished input to thermoplastic striping operations, not as a raw feedstock for further processing. The City of Phoenix's recent IFB (IFB260348, due July 17, 2026) exemplifies the scope: sealed bids for thermoplastic reflectorized material in granular or pelletized form meeting precise composition ranges (binder 18–26% by weight, reflective glass spheres 30–40%, titanium dioxide 10–15%, calcium carbonate filler 20–40%, yellow pigment minimum 1.5% for yellow materials), packaged in 50-pound meltable bags shrink-wrapped on pallets, delivered FOB destination with material safety data sheets and certificates of compliance. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments, county road and bridge programs, and metropolitan planning organizations, all operating on firm-fixed or unit-price contracts typically running one to five years with annual price adjustments.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest and South, with recent procurements from Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth, Harris County, Fort Bend County), Georgia (Bryan County, Savannah, South Fulton), Florida (Marion County), and California (Santa Clara County). Beyond the Phoenix raw-material bid, the code also captures related striping service and equipment procurements — Fort Bend County's term contract for thermoplastic traffic coating (Bid 26-038, due February 24, 2026, covering grinding, primer application, thermoplastic application, and raised pavement marker installation), Santa Clara County's on-call thermoplastic striping and marker installation ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0596, due May 18, 2026), Fort Worth's 2026 On-Call Pavement Markings Contract (CPN 106517, due February 19, 2026, with 198 line items covering thermoplastic, preformed, multipolymer, and polyurea marking types and removals), and Dallas's on-call paving contract (CIZ26-TPW-4005, due June 26, 2026) including pavement markings as a subcomponent. The code shows strong activity across multiple market segments — material supply, application contracting, and integrated striping-plus-equipment procurements — with prevailing-wage requirements and bid bonds standard.
