UNSPSC 13111011: Polybutylene terepthatlate

UNSPSC 13111011 Polybutylene terephthalate, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classifier. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve thermoplastic pavement marking materials, equipment, and application services—not the synthetic polymer resin itself. State and local procurement offices use this code to tag solicitations for thermoplastic pavement striping raw materials in granular or pelletized form, thermoplastic applicator equipment and trailers, road striping and pavement marking services, and related delivery and training. The issuing bodies span Florida municipal governments (City of Port Orange, City of Phoenix, Pasco County), county road departments (Walton County Florida, Bryan County Georgia, Marion County Florida, Harris County Texas), and city public works departments (City of Dallas, City of Savannah). Walton County, Pasco County, and Port Orange appear multiple times in recent activity, indicating steady demand for thermoplastic equipment and striping services among Florida jurisdictions in particular.

Recent solicitations span Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material (thermoplastic reflectorized granules or pellets) with a five-year term commencing February 15, 2027; Harris County, Texas solicited bids for a complete Thermoplastic Applicator Machine system with premelter trailer and dies, due June 8, 2026; Bryan County, Georgia requested sealed bids for approximately 65 miles of road striping and 5,440 Raised Pavement Markers, due June 18, 2026; Marion County, Florida bid resurfacing of 11.65 miles including thermoplastic striping, due June 18, 2026; and the City of Dallas issued an on-call paving contract including pavement markings, due June 26, 2026. Port Orange, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to verify sole-source capability for a Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 thermoplastic applicator, and Pasco County posted a notice of intent to sole-source self-propelled spray thermoplastic carts. The code shows active procurement across mixed issuing bodies with no standout geographic concentration, though Florida accounts for roughly half the recent opportunities.
