UNSPSC 31211506: Latex paints

UNSPSC 31211506 Latex paints (Commodity) covers maintenance paint supplies and materials procured by state departments, counties, and municipal authorities for routine facility operations, equipment maintenance, and construction projects. State and local governments solicit latex paints through direct material purchases (IFB notices requesting assorted paint supplies for inventory and operational use) and as line items within broader facility renovation or construction projects that require surface preparation, painting, and finishing services. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer of assorted paints for operational facilities; county maintenance authorities and municipal development agencies also solicit painting services and materials regularly. Recent opportunities include both straightforward material supply purchases and integrated painting-and-coating components within larger capital projects, with scopes ranging from interior and exterior facility maintenance to specialized multi-trade construction work.

Geographic activity centers in Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple paint supply IFBs in 2026 (solicitations IW252554, IW256389, and IW268110, due dates ranging from June through October 2026), covering assorted paints for criminal justice facilities.
