UNSPSC 31211505: Oil based paints

UNSPSC 31211505 Oil based paints is a Commodity code encompassing the purchase of oil-based paint products for facilities maintenance, institutional operations, and as-needed building work across state and local agencies. State and local governments procure oil-based paints through two primary channels: direct supply contracts for paint inventories to support ongoing maintenance and repairs at state agencies, school districts, and county facilities, and as components of broader painting services scopes where contractors furnish materials alongside labor. Recent solicitations show demand ranging from bulk paint and supplies agreements serving multiple departments on an as-needed basis to project-specific painting work where oil-based coatings are specified for particular applications such as exterior stucco, metal surfaces, and metal roofs. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Secretary of State, California state agencies), county procurement offices (Sarasota County, Orange County and Santa Clara County in Florida and California), cities (Pembroke Pines, Madison, Salem), school districts (Donna ISD, Chicago Public Schools), and municipal authorities, indicating sustained baseline demand across the full spectrum of state and local jurisdictions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, Texas, California, and Illinois, with additional recent solicitations in Wisconsin and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice assorted paints IFB (IW256389, due July 13, 2026), Orange County, Florida commercial interior and exterior painting services covering multiple county and City of Orlando facilities (Y26-1008, due July 7, 2026), the City of Pembroke Pines exterior painting of Pembroke Pines Charter School with specified Sherwin Williams and Pro Industrial materials (IFB PSPW-26-05, due April 28, 2026), the Illinois Secretary of State multi-year painting supplies RFQ (due April 9, 2026), and the State of California three-year painting supplies agreement (RFB, due April 3, 2026). Multi-year supply agreements targeting state and county operations dominate the pipeline, with contract terms typically spanning three to five years and pricing structured as discounts off catalog lists or fee schedules. Prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in public works painting projects, and material specifications increasingly require lead and mercury-free formulations and compliance with Green Seal standards and VOC content limits. Opportunities are posted across Bonfire, OpenGov, BidBuy, and agency procurement portals, with electronic submission now standard across all recent solicitations.
