UNSPSC 13111000: Resins

UNSPSC 13111000 Resins is a Class code that encompasses synthetic and natural resin materials used in industrial applications, adhesives, coatings, and composite systems. State and local governments procure resins primarily through indirect demand embedded in construction, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure projects rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement of bulk resins under this code; instead, resin-based products appear as components within larger maintenance, repair, and specialty material contracts. For example, polycarbonate sheeting (a resin-based product) appears in construction and facilities work, and resinous flooring systems are specified within concrete refinishing and interior renovation projects, but these are typically tagged under construction or flooring service codes rather than the resin commodity code itself.

The issuing-body mix includes county facilities departments, city public works and schools, transit authorities, and independent school districts across multiple states. Geographic activity is scattered, with recent solicitations from California, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Utah. A representative recent opportunity is the City of Meriden, Connecticut's RFP 027-04 for food service paper goods and disposable products (due July 16, 2026, an RFP issued to Meriden Public Schools for $210,000 annual contract value), and the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' IFB JF26-86 for 150 55-gallon barrels of therapeutic-grade formaldehyde for hatchery operations (due June 16, 2026, a single-award IFB with five-year term and one-year pricing guarantee). The code shows little direct procurement momentum; most resin-based activity is embedded in broader facilities, construction, or materials-management contracts tagged to other UNSPSC codes. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit bulk industrial resins, epoxies, or composite matrices as standalone purchases under this code tier.
