UNSPSC 13102025: Polyphenylene Sulfide PPS

UNSPSC 13102025 Polyphenylene Sulfide PPS (Commodity) covers thermoplastic pavement marking materials — specifically reflectorized granular or pelletized compounds formulated for application as molten-state road stripes and surface markings. State and local governments are buying finished thermoplastic traffic coating products and raw material precursors for pavement marking operations, not raw polymer resin in bulk. Recent solicitations frame the work as supply contracts for thermoplastic coating services delivered on an as-needed or term-contract basis, with work ranging from raw material procurement to equipment provision and on-site application. Issuing bodies include municipal transportation and public works departments (City of Phoenix Aviation, City of Dallas Transportation, City of Fort Worth, City of Savannah), county road and bridge authorities (Marion County Florida, Bryan County Georgia, Harris County Texas, Fort Bend County Texas, Santa Clara County California), and special districts (South Fulton Georgia). Cities and counties solicit repeatedly under this family of codes — Phoenix, Dallas, Fort Worth, and multiple Texas counties appear multiple times in recent posts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered activity in other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix IFB 260348 for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in 50-pound meltable bags (due July 17, 2026), Marion County Florida solicitation 26B-095 for road resurfacing with thermoplastic striping as a line-item deliverable (due June 18, 2026), the City of Fort Worth 2026 On-Call Pavement Markings Contract with 198 unit-priced line items covering thermoplastic, preformed thermoplastic, multipolymer, and reflective markers (due February 19, 2026), Fort Bend County Texas term contract 26-038 for thermoplastic traffic coating with primary, secondary, and tertiary vendor awards (due February 24, 2026), and Santa Clara County California ITB PRC-FY26-0596 for as-needed thermoplastic striping and marker installation across county facilities (due May 18, 2026). All solicitations are competitive bid-based procurements (IFB, ITB, or RFQ format), with prevailing wage requirements on public works projects and bond requirements ranging from 5 to 10 percent of bid price. Contract terms typically run one to five years with annual price review or escalation provisions capped at 25 percent with supporting cost documentation.
