UNSPSC 23153509: Spray painting equipment and accessories

Spray painting equipment refers to the collection of devices used to apply a surface coating to objects by the means of atomized liquids that are propelled through the air, usually by compressed air. It also refers to a series of devices used to optimize the coating application.

UNSPSC 23153509 Spray painting equipment and accessories (Commodity) covers vehicle paints, coatings, and protective finishing products that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, infrastructure protection, and facilities upkeep. Recent activity shows a mix of as-needed supply contracts for paints and sundries alongside application-focused work. The Orange County Transportation Authority, for example, is soliciting vehicle paints and supplies under IFB 260505 with a $150,000 budget over two years and deliveries to Santa Ana and Garden Grove facilities; the City of Fort Worth is seeking paint and paint supplies under RFP 26-0224 with a 30% small business participation goal; and Tampa Bay Water has posted multiple painting services contracts for regional locations in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. Issuing bodies include transit authorities, municipal departments, county facilities management offices, and regional water authorities, with work spanning interior and exterior latex paints, industrial alkyds, direct-to-metal coatings, elastomeric products, primers, sealers, traffic-marking paints, and spray equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority (IFB 260505, response October 26, 2026), Hillsborough County (ITB 2027030, response September 2, 2026), Tampa Bay Water (ITB 2027023025, response July 8, 2026), the City of Charlotte (solicitation 26920262083A, response July 17, 2026), and Orange County Facilities (RFP Y26-1008, response July 7, 2026) represent the most recent activity. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0224 (response August 6, 2026) and the Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, response July 17, 2026) diversify the geographic footprint. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements appear in Federal Transit Administration–funded work; DBE participation goals are specified for transit authority procurements. Most solicitations are framed as as-needed blanket purchase order or supply agreements, with terms typically one to two years and renewal options, though some are project-specific. Delivery requirements often mandate next-day or within-four-business-day turnaround, and commercial liability insurance minimums range from $1 million to $2 million aggregate.
