UNSPSC 13102018: Low Density Polyethylene LDPE

UNSPSC 13102018 Low Density Polyethylene LDPE, a Commodity code, encompasses raw materials for thermoplastic pavement markings, road striping, and related traffic control applications that state and local transportation departments and county road agencies procure for ongoing maintenance and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring granular or pelletized thermoplastic compounds formulated with binders, reflective glass spheres, titanium dioxide, fillers, and pigments—either as raw material inputs for in-house application or as finished thermoplastic coatings ready for field installation. Cities, counties, and special-purpose transportation districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including municipal departments of transportation and county public works divisions managing street and road networks.

Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's IFB for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form with delivery commencing February 15, 2027 (due July 17, 2026), Fort Bend County's Term Contract for Thermoplastic Traffic Coating covering grinding, primer application, and thermoplastic installation across county roads (due February 24, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's 2026 On-Call Pavement Markings Contract spanning 198 line items of thermoplastic, preformed, and ceramic marking applications (due February 19, 2026), and Marion County, Florida's road resurfacing project including 925 linear feet of double yellow thermoplastic striping as part of a larger overlay scope (due June 18, 2026). The City of Santa Clara and Harris County also solicited thermoplastic striping installation and equipment procurement respectively. Most contracts structure work as unit-price or on-call arrangements with prevailing wage compliance and performance bonding; award typically goes to lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
