UNSPSC 31201605: Putties

UNSPSC 31201605 Putties is a Commodity code for surface-preparation and finishing materials used in construction and maintenance work. State and local governments buy putties and related sealants primarily through facilities renovation and fleet maintenance contracts, where they serve as components within larger construction or operational supply scopes rather than standalone line items. The code appears in solicitations issued by city transit authorities, county public-safety agencies, and municipal facilities departments conducting building improvements or equipment upkeep. Putties are typically bundled with other finish materials—wall tile, caulks, coatings, and preparatory compounds—in renovation and maintenance-supply RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, where they support interior finishing work or vehicle maintenance protocols.

Recent activity shows putties appearing as incidental materials within broader solicitations across Connecticut and Florida. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut issued IFB 26011 on September 23, 2026 (due October 15) for locker-room renovation at the Waterford Police Department, with work including wall finishes, tile installation, and restoration requiring associated putties and sealants as part of the base bid scope. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Tampa, Florida issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 (due July 24) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies to support the County Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 covering a one-year term—a supply category where putties and related maintenance compounds would fall among line items. The City of Charlotte issued a procurement on June 18, 2026 (due July 17) for bus paint and related materials supporting transit fleet maintenance, where putties and surface-preparation compounds support vehicle finishing work. These opportunities suggest putties are most active in municipal facilities management and transit-fleet contexts rather than as primary-focus commodities.
