UNSPSC 13102021: Polyimide PI

UNSPSC 13102021 Polyimide PI is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The posted opportunities describe thermoplastic pavement markings equipment, raw materials, and road striping services—none of which involve polyimide as a specified material or commodity. The City of Phoenix's IFB-26-0348 solicits thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form with binder, reflective glass spheres, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate as primary components; Harris County's ITB-260116 procures a thermoplastic applicator machine system with trailer and related equipment; the City of Port Orange's notice of intent seeks a Trantex thermoplastic applicator with training; and Walton County and Pasco County both solicit thermoplastic and road striping services. These solicitations reflect pavement marking infrastructure work, not polyimide procurement, indicating a mismatch between the code assignment and actual buying activity.

The recent opportunities originate from Florida county and city transportation departments (Port Orange, Pasco County, Marion County, Walton County, Bay County), Georgia local governments (Bryan County, City of Savannah), Texas counties (Harris County), Arizona municipalities (City of Phoenix), and Texas cities (City of Dallas). The geographic footprint spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with no dominant repeat buyer across multiple solicitations. The most recent activity includes the City of Phoenix's five-year supply contract for thermoplastic raw material (IFB-26-0348, due July 17, 2026); Harris County's equipment procurement for a thermoplastic applicator machine and trailer (ITB-260116, due June 8, 2026); Port Orange's notice of intent to sole-source a Trantex applicator (SS2625CW, due October 13, 2026); and Marion County's road resurfacing contract with thermoplastic striping components (26B-095, due June 18, 2026). No contract values or vendor awards are disclosed in these notices. This code shows little relevant recent activity tied to polyimide specifically; the mismatch suggests potential tagging error by issuing bodies.
