UNSPSC 13102030: Polyvinyl Chloride PVC

UNSPSC 13102030 Polyvinyl Chloride PVC, a Commodity code, encompasses thermoplastic pavement marking materials and application equipment that state and local transportation and public works departments procure to stripe and mark roadways. Recent solicitations show governments buying both raw thermoplastic material in granular or pelletized form compounded for molten application, and complete applicator systems—premelter trailers, spray carts, and handheld applicators—used to apply those markings to road surfaces. The City of Phoenix's IFB for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material specified binder, reflective glass spheres, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate in defined ratios, packaged in 50-pound bags on one-ton pallets with five-year contract terms; Harris County Precinct 1 solicited a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system with premelter trailer, quick-change dies, and full training and warranty. Issuing bodies include cities (Phoenix, Dallas, Port Orange, Savannah), counties (Harris County Texas, Marion County Florida, Bryan County Georgia, Walton County Florida, Bay County Florida, Pasco County Florida), and municipal transportation departments. Repeat buyers span Florida jurisdictions—Port Orange, Pasco County, Marion County, and Walton County all posted pavement marking solicitations between May and October 2026—alongside Texas and Georgia activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26-0348 for thermoplastic raw material due July 17, 2026, under a five-year contract commencing February 15, 2027, with monthly delivery requirements and DBE participation governed by 49 CFR Part 26. Harris County, Texas released ITB 260116 for a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system with forty-five-day delivery and one-year warranty, due June 8, 2026. Marion County, Florida solicited road resurfacing including permanent thermoplastic striping across 11.65 miles due June 18, 2026 with 120-day completion and $250-per-day liquidated damages. Bryan County, Georgia requested sealed bids for 65 miles of road striping and 5,440 raised pavement markers (LMIG-SAP Part 2) due June 18, 2026. The City of Savannah posted a bike lane striping RFB due June 9, 2026. Pasco County issued a notice of intent to sole-source self-propelled spray thermoplastic carts in July 2026 to improve pavement marking efficiency and safety. Port Orange posted a sole-source verification notice (October 13, 2026 response date) for a Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 applicator with training through authorized dealer Transcor Supply, Inc. in Jacksonville. Activity reflects ongoing municipal infrastructure maintenance cycles and road safety initiatives across multi-state jurisdictions, with contract values ranging from equipment procurement to materials supply spanning five years.
