UNSPSC 27112301: Branders

UNSPSC 27112301 Branders, a Commodity code, encompasses marking, stamping, and branding equipment and supplies that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, painting projects, and bulk inventory management. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both catalog discount cooperative purchasing for paint and painting supplies and direct procurement of branding or marking materials within painting and exterior renovation work.

Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (based in Kilgore, Texas) represents the most active recent buyer, posting an IFB for paint and painting supplies catalog discount pricing (Solicitation PAINT2628, due September 29, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $10,293,143 over a two-year term running October 15, 2026 through October 15, 2028—a successor award involving 21 vendors and emphasizing discounts, net terms, free shipping, and purchase order acceptance as evaluation criteria. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, issued an RFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (Solicitation 1505102026, due July 17, 2026) that includes exterior painting, caulking, gutter and soffit work, and associated surface preparation and finishing tasks subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage requirements. Activity appears concentrated in cooperative purchasing vehicles and municipal/regional development authorities rather than spread across multiple state departments or school districts. The code shows recent activity in Texas and Wisconsin, with cooperative purchasing vehicles appearing as the dominant issuing mechanism for volume procurement of branded paint and painting supplies.
