UNSPSC 13111025: Polyvinyl chloride resin

UNSPSC 13111025 Polyvinyl chloride resin, a Commodity code, covers thermoplastic pavement marking raw materials formulated for molten-state application to road surfaces—granular or pelletized compounds containing specified binder, reflective glass spheres, pigments, and filler ratios. State and local governments procure this material both as bulk raw resin for in-house or contractor application and as a precursor to finished thermoplastic marking systems. Issuing bodies range across cities, counties, and transit authorities, with activity concentrated in municipal transportation and public works departments that manage street maintenance and pavement marking programs. The City of Phoenix and Fort Bend County, Texas are recent repeat buyers in this space; cities including Fort Worth, Dallas, and Savannah, and counties including Harris County, Texas; Marion County, Florida; and Santa Clara County, California all solicit thermoplastic marking services or related materials. Secondary solicitation activity includes speed-table and bike-lane projects incorporating thermoplastic striping components.

Recent procurement activity centers on the Southwest and Southeast. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 260348 on July 2, 2026, for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material (response due July 17, 2026), specifying 50-pound meltable bags with detailed composition requirements (18–26% binder, 30–40% reflective glass spheres, 10–15% titanium dioxide for white materials) and a five-year contract term commencing February 15, 2027, with firm fixed pricing for year one and annual escalation consideration thereafter. Fort Bend County, Texas issued IFB 26-038 for thermoplastic traffic coating services on February 6, 2026 (due February 24, 2026), awarding to one primary, one secondary, and one tertiary contractor across a one-year initial term (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027) with four annual renewal options. The City of Fort Worth (CPN 106517, due February 19, 2026) and County of Santa Clara (ITB-PRC-FY26-0596, due May 18, 2026) both issued on-call pavement markings contracts with unit pricing across multiple marking types. Dallas, Savannah, Bryan County (Georgia), Marion County (Florida), and South Fulton (Georgia) issued related road and pavement marking solicitations between May and July 2026, though several were structured as general paving or speed-table projects where thermoplastic striping appeared as a line item rather than the primary procurement focus.
