UNSPSC 13111026: Styrene acrylonitrile resin

UNSPSC 13111026 Styrene acrylonitrile resin, a Commodity code, encompasses raw materials for thermoplastic pavement markings and related traffic-safety applications that state and local governments procure as finished compounds ready for field application. State and local buyers under this code are cities, counties, and regional transit authorities sourcing thermoplastic striping materials in granular or pelletized form, compounded to specification with binder resins, reflective glass spheres, pigments, and fillers for application as molten pavement stripes and markings. The Phoenix Aviation Department's thermoplastic pavement marking material solicitation (IFB 260348, July 17, 2026) exemplifies the scope: a five-year term contract for material conforming to specified composition ranges (18–26% binder, 30–40% reflective spheres, 10–15% titanium dioxide for white, 20–40% calcium carbonate filler, minimum 1.5% yellow pigment), packaged in 50-pound meltable bags shrink-wrapped on pallets, with local inventory and 30-day delivery commitments. Issuing bodies include city transportation and aviation departments, counties conducting road resurfacing and striping programs, and municipalities managing comprehensive on-call pavement marking contracts. Fort Bend County (Texas) and Fort Worth (Texas) both issued broad on-call pavement marking procurements that encompass thermoplastic material supply alongside installation labor; the City of Santa Clara issued a separate on-call thermoplastic striping and marker installation ITB (due May 18, 2026) that implies material supply as part of contractor delivery.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Arizona, and Georgia. The City of Phoenix (Arizona) issued the most tightly specified thermoplastic material raw-input solicitation, with a five-year term commencing February 15, 2027. Fort Bend County (Texas) let a term contract for thermoplastic traffic coating services (IFB 26-038, due February 24, 2026) running April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 with four one-year renewal options, structured for primary, secondary, and tertiary awards encompassing grinding, primer application, and thermoplastic coatings in multiple widths plus raised pavement markers. The City of Fort Worth (Texas) issued a comprehensive 2026 on-call pavement markings contract (CPN 106517, due February 19, 2026) spanning 198 line items with a 30 percent small business participation goal and a $5 million maximum award per vendor. Bryan County (Georgia) solicited road striping for approximately 65 miles with 5,440 raised pavement markers (due June 18, 2026). The City of Dallas and City of Savannah (Georgia) issued broader paving or striping work that includes thermoplastic applications as components of larger infrastructure contracts rather than standalone material supply.
