UNSPSC 13111077: Polyamide 6-12

Nylon resulting from the contribution of six carbon atoms from the diamine and twelve carbon atoms from the diacid with amide bonds alternating direction between each monomer.

UNSPSC 13111077 Polyamide 6-12, a Commodity code, covers thermoplastic pavement marking raw materials and related granular or pelletized compounds that state and local governments procure for striping and road marking applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing thermoplastic marking materials in bulk, either as raw feedstock for in-house application equipment or as finished thermoplastic products applied by contractors, with material specifications typically mandating specific ranges for binder content, reflective glass spheres, pigments, and fillers. The issuing bodies include city transportation and aviation departments, counties, and municipalities — the City of Phoenix, City of Dallas, Bryan County (Georgia), City of Savannah, Marion County (Florida), Harris County (Texas), County of Santa Clara (California), Fort Bend County (Texas), City of South Fulton (Georgia), and City of Fort Worth (Texas) all posted opportunities in this space between February and July 2026. The code captures both raw-material procurement (thermoplastic striping compound in pelletized or granular form packaged in 50-pound bags) and finished installation services that incorporate the material as a line item, though recent activity skews heavily toward thermoplastic application services bundled with traffic-control and site-restoration work rather than raw-material transactions alone.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Dallas, Harris County, Fort Bend County, Fort Worth), Georgia (Bryan County, Savannah, South Fulton), California (Santa Clara County), Florida (Marion County), and Arizona (Phoenix). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's IFB 260348 (posted July 2, 2026; due July 17, 2026) for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form with 50-pound meltable bags on pallets, requiring daily inventory support and delivery within 30 days; the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0596 (posted April 16, 2026; due May 18, 2026) for thermoplastic striping, markings, and pavement marker installation services on an as-needed basis across county facilities; and Fort Bend County's IFB for a Term Contract for Thermoplastic Traffic Coating (bid 26-038, due February 24, 2026) with unit pricing for 38 line items covering grinding, primer application, thermoplastic application in multiple widths, raised pavement marker installation, and specialized markings. Most solicitations are structured as on-call or term contracts with unit pricing rather than fixed-scope projects, reflecting ongoing operational demand for pavement maintenance. Prevailing wage requirements and bid bonds of 5 to 10 percent are standard across jurisdictions. The code shows consistent regional activity driven by infrastructure maintenance cycles, with multiple awards to primary, secondary, and tertiary vendors in larger procurements.
