UNSPSC 31201625: Putty primer

A first coat or layer of material given to any surface prior to application of putty.

UNSPSC 31201625 Putty primer is a Commodity code that encompasses concrete sealants, adhesive tapes, and related surface-treatment products state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and infrastructure preservation. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies buying concrete sealants (penetrating, acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane formulations) for application to large concrete surfaces, fusion tape for specialized bonding, and related materials. Issuing bodies span transportation authorities, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the most concrete recent buyer, soliciting concrete sealant services with multiple formulation types and surface-preparation work at transit facilities and streetcar platforms.

Activity under the code shows geographic spread across California and Texas in the recent record. OCTA's IFB 250318 for concrete sealant services, posted October 7, 2026 with bids due October 14, 2026, represents the largest and most detailed opportunity—a $250,000 one-year prevailing-wage contract requiring California contractor licensure and three years of concrete sealant experience, with five separately priced service lines covering penetrating sealer (5,000 estimated square feet annually), water-based acrylic sealer (20,000 sf), solvent-based acrylic sealer (5,000 sf), epoxy or polyurethane sealer (5,000 sf), and concrete surface preparation (35,000 sf). Dallas County, Texas issued a smaller IFB (2100758) for fusion tape in specific dimensions (1 inch by 0.020 inch by 30 feet) with a due date of October 1, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626) was posted in May 2026; that opportunity appears misaligned with the putty primer and sealant focus of the code and lacks specific procurement detail relevant to this commodity family.
