UNSPSC 31211505: Oil based paints

UNSPSC 31211505 Oil based paints, a Commodity code, covers paint supplies and materials that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, construction, and infrastructure projects. The work ranges from straightforward supply contracts for assorted paints to painting services bundled within larger construction projects. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies, counties, and cities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple paint procurement IFBs in 2026; other buyers include Marion County (Florida), Sarasota County (Florida), Orange County (Florida), and the City of Madison (Wisconsin). The code captures both materials procurement (standalone paint supply contracts) and painting labor-and-materials scopes integrated into facility improvement projects, though the recent solicitations skew toward services rather than materials alone.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three paint solicitations between June and October 2026 (IFBs IW252554, IW256389, and IW268110, with deadlines of June 11, July 13, and October 29, respectively), all for assorted paints with electronic submission through the Bonfire portal. In Florida, Marion County, through Construction Manager Charles Perry Partners, Inc., solicited painting and coatings work as part of a maintenance building project with a prequalification gate (20Q-161-TO-58, due October 8, 2026); Sarasota County issued an IFB for interior and exterior painting services at county facilities on an as-needed basis with a three-year initial term (due July 15, 2026); and Orange County requested sealed offers for commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management through the OpenGov platform (Y26-1008, due July 7, 2026). The City of Madison issued an RFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project under Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage requirements, with bids due July 17, 2026, and a two-month contract term.
