UNSPSC 13111049: Ethylene propylene polymers

UNSPSC 13111049 Ethylene propylene polymers is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not actually buy raw ethylene propylene polymers under this code; instead, the recent solicitations show that governments are procuring thermoplastic pavement marking materials and application equipment. The City of Phoenix is soliciting thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form with specified binder, reflective glass sphere, and pigment composition for road striping and marking. Harris County, Texas is procuring a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system with premelter trailer and quick-change dies for applying markings. The City of Port Orange and Pasco County are both seeking thermoplastic applicator equipment—a self-propelled spray thermoplastic cart and a Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 applicator respectively—to improve efficiency and consistency in pavement marking operations. The issuing bodies are a mix of cities, counties, and a special-purpose authority, with municipalities (Port Orange, Phoenix, Savannah, Dallas) and county governments (Harris County, Bryan County, Marion County, Walton County, Pasco County, Bay County) as the primary buyers under thermoplastic pavement marking work.
