UNSPSC 13102027: High Impact Polystyrene HIPS

UNSPSC 13102027 High Impact Polystyrene HIPS is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities shown under this code do not involve HIPS procurement. Instead, state and local governments are actively buying thermoplastic pavement marking services, equipment, and raw materials—solicitations reflect demand for thermoplastic applicator machines, self-propelled spray carts, thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form, road striping labor and installation, and related pavement-marking services. The issuing bodies span city and county transportation or public works departments across multiple states, with no dominant repeat buyer emerging from the recent posting activity.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26-0348 on July 21, 2026, for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form with specific binder, reflective glass sphere, titanium dioxide, and filler composition requirements, under a five-year contract commencing February 15, 2027.
