UNSPSC 13111039: Polyethylene terephthalate or glycol modified

UNSPSC 13111039 Polyethylene terephthalate or glycol modified (Commodity) covers thermoplastic pavement marking raw materials and related application services being procured by state and local governments for road striping, bike lane markings, and pavement surface treatments. State and local governments buy thermoplastic materials in pelletized or granular form—compounded with binders, reflective glass spheres, titanium dioxide, fillers, and pigments—packaged for melting and application to pavement in various stripe widths and colors, along with installation services and specialized equipment like thermoplastic applicator machines and trailers. The code also captures thermoplastic traffic coating services encompassing grinding, primer application, marker installation including raised pavement markers, and specialized markings such as arrows and yield signs. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments (Phoenix, Dallas, Savannah, Fort Worth), county public works and procurement offices (Bryan County Georgia, Marion County Florida, Harris County Texas, Santa Clara County California, Fort Bend County Texas), and special-purpose districts. Cities and counties appear with roughly equal frequency, with no single jurisdiction dominating the recent activity block.

Recent opportunities reflect broad geographic distribution across the South and Southwest. The City of Phoenix posted IFB 260348 on July 2, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material—binder, glass spheres, titanium dioxide, fillers, and pigments in 50-pound bags—requiring daily inventory support and 30-day delivery windows under a five-year fixed-price term with annual price adjustment consideration thereafter.
