UNSPSC 13102024: Polyphenylene oxide PPO

UNSPSC 13102024 Polyphenylene oxide (PPO) Commodity code shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The posted opportunities tagged to this code procure thermoplastic pavement marking equipment, raw materials, and road striping services—none of which involve PPO as a chemical input or component. The mismatch suggests these opportunities were miscoded or the code database contains stale or inaccurate taxonomy assignments. The single recent solicitation that names a raw material specification—the City of Phoenix's IFB-26-0348 for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material—calls for compounded thermoplastic reflectorized material with specified binder, glass spheres, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and pigment, but does not identify PPO as a constituent. State and local procurement activity under this code warrants no pursuit strategy at present.

The geographic range of miscoded opportunities spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with Florida municipalities (City of Port Orange, Pasco County, Marion County) representing the highest recent volume. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and special-purpose districts. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's five-year raw material supply contract (IFB-26-0348, due July 17, 2026), Harris County Precinct 1's thermoplastic applicator equipment procurement (ITB 260116, due June 8, 2026), Marion County's road resurfacing overlay project including thermoplastic striping (Contract 26B-095, due June 18, 2026), and Bryan County's road striping with raised pavement marker installation (LMIG-SAP Part 2, due June 18, 2026). None of these procurements target PPO as a procurement category or material specification.
