UNSPSC 13102022: Polypropylene PP

UNSPSC 13102022 Polypropylene PP is a Commodity code covering thermoplastic pavement marking materials and associated application equipment purchased by state and local transportation agencies. State and local governments buy thermoplastic raw material in granular or pelletized form compounded for pavement stripes and markings applied in molten state, as well as the specialized applicator equipment—trailer-mounted premelters, spray carts, and handheld thermoplastic applicators—used to deploy these materials on roadways. The recent opportunities show procurement spanning raw-material supply contracts requiring specified binder, reflective glass sphere, titanium dioxide, and filler compositions; sole-source and competitive equipment procurements for applicator machines and self-propelled spray carts; and road-striping services that incorporate thermoplastic markings as one component of broader pavement maintenance and resurfacing projects. Issuing bodies include city transportation departments, county public works and road departments, and regional transit authorities across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona; repeat buyers include the City of Phoenix, Marion County Florida, Walton County Florida, and Harris County Texas.

Recent opportunities demonstrate geographic activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material with a five-year contract term commencing February 15, 2027, requiring 50-pound shrink-wrapped bags on pallets with 30-day delivery windows and specified composition ranges for binder, glass spheres, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and pigment. Harris County, Texas released an ITB for a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system including premelter trailer and TXEQ-360MIIT applicator or equivalent, due June 8, 2026, with forty-five-day delivery and one-year warranty requirements. Pasco County Florida issued a notice of intent to sole-source self-propelled spray thermoplastic carts to improve marking efficiency and safety, with a comment period closing August 4, 2026. Marion County Florida requested competitive bids for a 2026 road resurfacing project including 925 linear feet of double yellow thermoplastic striping across 11.65 miles, due June 18, 2026. Bryan County Georgia and the City of Savannah both solicited road-striping bids incorporating thermoplastic markings in June 2026, and the City of Port Orange Florida and Walton County Florida issued notices related to thermoplastic applicator equipment and striping services in October and September 2026 respectively.
