UNSPSC 13102020: Polyethylene Terepthalate PET

UNSPSC 13102020 Polyethylene Terepthalate PET, a Commodity code, covers thermoplastic pavement marking materials in granular or pelletized form used for road striping and pavement markings applied in a molten state. State and local governments procure this material as finished compound meeting precise specifications for binder content, reflective glass spheres, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate filler, and pigment—sourced through IFB and ITB notices as raw material supply contracts or as part of broader pavement marking service agreements. The City of Phoenix, for example, recently issued IFB-26-0348 seeking thermoplastic reflectorized material in 50-pound meltable bags with specified composition ranges and same-day delivery capability to support street-striping operations, with contract commencement February 15, 2027 for a five-year term. Cities and counties dominate the issuing-body mix, with transportation and public works departments managing most procurements; special-purpose districts and regional authorities do not appear in recent activity.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, California, Arizona, and Florida. Beyond Phoenix's raw-material IFB, the City of Dallas issued an on-call paving contract (IFB CIZ26-TPW-4005, due June 26, 2026) that includes pavement markings among multiple scope items, and the City of Fort Worth solicited a comprehensive 2026 On-Call Pavement Markings Contract (CPN 106517, due February 19, 2026) covering 198 line items of thermoplastic and other marking types with a 30 percent small-business participation goal. Santa Clara County released ITB-PRC-FY26-0596 for thermoplastic striping and pavement-marker installation services (due May 18, 2026) requiring California Class A or C32 licensing and prevailing wages. Fort Bend County, Texas issued IFB 26-038 for a term contract in thermoplastic traffic coating (due February 24, 2026) with unit pricing for grinding, primer application, thermoplastic coatings, and raised pavement markers. Bryan County, Georgia and the City of Savannah also solicited road-striping work in recent months, indicating sustained municipal demand across the Southeast and South.
