UNSPSC 23153507: Miscellaneous or miscellaneous paint shop

UNSPSC 23153507 Miscellaneous or miscellaneous paint shop (Commodity) covers paint and paint supplies—including interior and exterior latex paints, industrial coatings, primers, sealers, traffic marking paints, caulks, sealants, and spray equipment—that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for fleet, facilities, and general departmental use. Recent solicitations show demand across city procurement offices, transit authorities, and community development agencies. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0224 (due August 6, 2026) seeks non-exclusive paint supply agreements with a 30% small business participation goal and best-value evaluation weighting cost (15 points), small business participation (25 points), vendor experience (25 points), delivery capability (20 points), and business location preference (15 points). The City of Gainesville Regional Transit System posted an RFQ (QRTSX2701, closed June 22, 2026) for automotive paint and supplies to support fleet operations, requiring bidders to be authorized PPG resellers or equivalent distributors with five years' relevant experience, $1 million public liability insurance, and annual PPG technician training at no cost. Both opportunities reflect preference for established vendors meeting brand-standard specifications, holding appropriate insurance, and demonstrating local presence or regional supply capability.

Fort Worth and Gainesville, Florida are the primary recent buyers under this code, with activity also appearing in Wisconsin and Orange County, Florida. The Community Development Authority of Madison posted an RFB (15051-0-2026, due July 17, 2026) for the Karabis Apartments exterior painting and siding project subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements, and Orange County, Florida solicited sealed offers (Y26-1008, due July 7, 2026) for commercial interior and exterior painting services across multiple county and city facilities. Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal options. Vendors commonly must meet minimum business tenure (five years), supply brand-name coatings (PPG, 3M), carry specified insurance levels, and in some cases provide staff training or comply with prevailing-wage and affirmative-action requirements.
