UNSPSC 13102016: Polyethersulfone PES

UNSPSC 13102016 Polyethersulfone PES is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of work currently being solicited in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are for thermoplastic pavement marking materials, installation services, and equipment—all of which fall under road and traffic control commodities and services, not specialty polymer compounds like polyethersulfone. The code's nominal scope (polyethersulfone resins or compounds) appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than an active procurement category in the state and local market today. The most relevant recent solicitations under this tag involve thermoplastic striping raw materials, thermoplastic applicator equipment, and pavement marking installation contracts, which are substantively different from the polymer chemistry the code describes.

State and local buyers issuing notices under this code include city and county transportation departments across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and California, with prominent recent activity from the City of Phoenix (thermoplastic raw material IFB, due July 17, 2026), the City of Dallas (on-call paving IFB, due June 26, 2026), Bryan County and the City of Savannah in Georgia (road striping and bike lane striping IFBs and ITBs, due June and July 2026), Marion County Florida (road resurfacing with thermoplastic striping, due June 18, 2026), Harris County Texas (thermoplastic applicator equipment ITB, due June 8, 2026), Santa Clara County California (thermoplastic striping and marker installation ITB, due May 18, 2026), Fort Bend County Texas (thermoplastic traffic coating term contract, due February 24, 2026), the City of South Fulton Georgia (speed table installation with thermoplastic markings, due February 20, 2026), and the City of Fort Worth Texas (on-call pavement markings contract, due February 19, 2026). Buyers issuing under this code span large cities, counties, and regional transportation authorities. The code shows no relevant activity for the specialty polymer commodity it nominally describes.
