UNSPSC 13111082: Polyamide 6

Nylon resulting from ring opening polymerization of caprolactam molecules with all amide bonds lying in the same direction.

UNSPSC 13111082 Polyamide 6 is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity covers thermoplastic pavement marking materials and equipment—raw material compounds for road striping and marking applications, along with the specialized applicator machinery and support systems needed to deploy them. The code sees activity across state departments, county boards, cities, and transit authorities. Solicitations under this code reflect both the material inputs (granular or pelletized thermoplastic compounds meeting specific binder, reflective glass sphere, pigment, and filler compositions) and the capital equipment for application (self-propelled spray carts, trailer-mounted premelter and applicator systems, and hand-held applicators for thermoplastic striping). Counties and municipalities frequently procure complete thermoplastic applicator systems bundled with trailers, dies, training, and warranty support, as well as raw thermoplastic material in 50-pound meltable bags to maintain standing inventory for ongoing roadway maintenance programs.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with significant activity in Florida county and city purchasing. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB on July 21, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for thermoplastic pavement marking raw material in granular or pelletized form, specifying a five-year contract commencing February 15, 2027, with pricing firm and fixed for year one and subject to annual adjustments thereafter. Harris County, Texas released an ITB on May 15, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for a complete thermoplastic applicator machine system including a premelter trailer and TXEQ-360MIIT applicator with forty-five-day delivery and one-year warranty. Marion County, Florida solicited competitive bids on May 20, 2026 (due June 18, 2026) for a road resurfacing project including permanent thermoplastic striping across 11.65 miles. Pasco County, Florida posted a notice of intent to sole source self-propelled spray thermoplastic carts on July 30, 2026 (comment period closing August 4, 2026). The City of Port Orange, Florida issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source procurement on October 6, 2026 (due October 13, 2026) for a Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 thermoplastic applicator with training and delivery from Transcor Supply, Inc., though responses were limited to verification of alternative vendor capability rather than open bidding.
