UNSPSC 13102016: Polyethersulfone PES

UNSPSC 13102016 Polyethersulfone PES is a Commodity code that in practice covers thermoplastic pavement marking equipment, raw materials, and application services — not the plastic polymer the abstract code name suggests. State and local governments are actively procuring thermoplastic applicator machines (self-propelled and trailer-mounted), raw thermoplastic compound in granular or pelletized form formulated to specification, road striping and pavement marking labor and services, and related deployment equipment. The issuing bodies span city departments (Port Orange, Phoenix, Dallas, Savannah), county boards (Bay, Walton, Bryan, Marion, Harris), and transit or public works divisions within those jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show cities and counties using RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types to procure equipment, materials, and services on both one-time and recurring or on-call contract bases.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Port Orange, Pasco County, Marion County, Walton County), Texas (Harris County, Dallas), and Georgia (Bryan County, Savannah), with recent opportunities also posted by Phoenix, Arizona. Representative recent procurements include Harris County's ITB 260116 for a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system with premelter trailer and quick-change dies, due June 8, 2026; the City of Phoenix's IFB-26-0348 for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form meeting specified binder, reflective glass, and pigment composition ranges, with a five-year term commencing February 15, 2027; Walton County's RFP 2623 for thermoplastic and pavement marking services on an as-needed basis over two years; and Bryan County's sealed-bid solicitation for approximately 65 miles of road striping and 5,440 raised pavement markers, due June 18, 2026. Marion County solicited resurfacing that included temporary and permanent thermoplastic striping as a line-item component (Contract 26B-095, June 18, 2026), and the City of Dallas included pavement markings within a broader on-call paving contract (CIZ26-TPW-4005, June 26, 2026).
