UNSPSC 31211506: Latex paints

UNSPSC 31211506 Latex paints, a Commodity code, covers interior and exterior paint products and related supplies that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, institutional operations, and project-specific painting work. Recent solicitations show activity across paint supply contracts, facility painting services, and project-based exterior painting work. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Secretary of State, State of California, State of Illinois through Chicago Public Schools), counties (Orange County and Sarasota County in Florida, Santa Clara County in California), cities (City of Madison, City of Salem, City of Pembroke Pines), school districts (Donna ISD, Pembroke Pines Charter School), and regional authorities. State-level procurement dominates the paint supply side, while counties and municipalities drive facility maintenance and project-based painting services. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple assorted-paint IFBs (IW256389 due July 13, 2026, and IW252554), and Orange County, Florida, appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate RFQs for both on-call painting services and facility management painting contracts.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County and Sarasota County painting services; Pembroke Pines Charter School exterior painting), Texas (TDCJ paint supply IFBs; Donna ISD catalog bid), California (Santa Clara County as-needed painting services ITB due April 14, 2026; State of California three-year supplies RFB due April 3, 2026), and the upper Midwest (City of Madison exterior painting and siding RFB due July 17, 2026; City of Salem historic structures painting due May 12, 2026). Scope varies significantly: paint supply contracts (Illinois Secretary of State RFQ for multi-year supplies, California state supplies agreement, Donna ISD catalog bid) establish vendor lists for as-needed purchasing; facility painting services contracts (Orange County Y26-155 five-year commercial interior/exterior services estimated at 9.6 million square feet, Sarasota County three-year on-call services) cover standing maintenance and repairs; and project-specific work (Pembroke Pines Charter School exterior painting with seven-year warranty, City of Salem historic structures restoration, City of Madison Karabis Apartments exterior painting and siding with Davis-Bacon compliance) involves defined scopes, timelines, and performance bonds. Prevailing wage requirements appear in public-works contexts (Santa Clara County, City of Salem, City of Madison). Local vendor preferences apply in some municipal procurements (Pembroke Pines offers five percent preference for local vendors and 2.5 percent for county vendors). Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises receive preference in Orange County procurements (3–8 percent depending on bid amount). Insurance, bonding, and crew-qualification requirements (minimum painters on staff, background checks, licensing) are standard across facility and project-based work.
