UNSPSC 31211501: Enamel paints

UNSPSC 31211501 Enamel paints is a Commodity code representing paint products for application to interior and exterior surfaces, though state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying painting services—labor-inclusive turnkey projects—rather than paint inventory alone. School districts, counties, and municipal authorities post RFPs and RFBs for facility painting work covering everything from routine maintenance at multiple properties to comprehensive rehabilitation projects with surface preparation, caulking, gutter replacement, and related trades bundled into single contracts. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, county facilities management offices, municipal development authorities, and county parks departments. Cobb County School District in Georgia has posted multiple notices for interior and exterior painting services across district facilities on an as-needed basis; the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, issued an RFB for exterior painting, siding, gutter, and soffit work at the Karabis Apartments under Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements; and Orange County, Florida, solicited commercial interior and exterior painting services for county and city facilities management, with responses due July 7, 2026, via OpenGov e-Procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida, with the most current Georgia solicitations (Cobb County School District RFP P27032, proposals due November 10, 2026) and Florida activity (Orange County facilities painting, proposals due July 7, 2026). The code shows active use for both routine facilities maintenance (as-needed service agreements with school districts) and discrete capital projects (apartment complex exterior renovation in Madison). Davis-Bacon compliance and prevailing-wage auditing appear in public-housing and municipal-development-authority procurements. Contract scopes routinely require proof of insurance ($1 million or higher general liability thresholds), site-visit access, detailed product specifications, subcontractor lists, and warranty coverage for paint failure, installation defects, and water intrusion. Bidders should anticipate lump-sum pricing, electronic submission requirements, and Q&A cycles with posted deadlines weeks before final response dates.
