UNSPSC 31211504: Coating paints

UNSPSC 31211504 Coating paints is a Commodity code that encompasses asphalt-related coatings, sealants, and bituminous products used in pavement rehabilitation and preservation—not decorative architectural paints. State and local governments purchase under this code primarily hot mix asphalt, recycled asphalt mixes, bituminous tack coats, slurry seals, crack sealants, and related surfacing materials to maintain and rehabilitate roads, parking lots, and airport taxiways. Recent solicitations show counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts (airport commissions, water authorities, correctional training authorities) issuing RFQs, IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs for annual supply contracts, as-needed task-order vehicles, and project-specific rehabilitation work. Issuing bodies include state transportation agencies (Texas), regional authorities (Eastern Municipal Water District, Savannah Airport Commission), county public works departments (Gilmer County, Okaloosa County, Orange County), city street departments (Greenville, Fort Myers, Arlington, Waxahachie, Owensboro), school districts (Pinellas County), and specialized procurement vehicles like the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority's enterprise operations. The code shows consistent activity across the Southeast, Texas, California, and the Middle Atlantic region, with no dominant geographic concentration.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple delivery models. Gilmer County Board of Commissioners posted an RFQ (due November 5, 2026) for six recycled asphalt mixes with lime modification and specified gyratory compaction requirements, priced for the full 2027 calendar year. The City of Fort Myers issued RFP 26-097 (due November 2, 2026) for mill and replace asphalt resurfacing and striping across five package components, with local vendor preference and MBE policies applied and evaluation weighting price at 45 points and technical approach at 20 points. Orange County, Florida advertised an estimated 125.6 million dollar sealed-bid procurement (Y26-182, due May 21, 2026) for comprehensive asphalt milling and resurfacing across 25,000 to 275,000 square yards, with unit pricing and a 60-month contract term incorporating Producer Price Index escalation. The City of Greenville, Texas solicited hot mix asphalt supply (approximately 5,000 tons annually, October 2026 through September 2027) under IFB, requiring Texas Highway Department Bulletin C-14 compliance and four-hour delivery windows. Okaloosa County, Florida issued an ITB for a task-order-driven Road Preservation Program accepting unit pricing for crack sealing, fog seal, chip seal, micro-surfacing, and slurry seal treatments on asphalt roadways exhibiting low-to-moderate distress. These opportunities show active state and local demand for both supply contracts (asphalt and sealants) and services (application, rehabilitation, preservation) with typical response windows of two to four weeks and evaluation criteria favoring cost, experience, and local/disadvantaged-business participation.
