UNSPSC 31211507: Spray paints

UNSPSC 31211507 Spray paints, a Commodity code, covers aerosol spray paint products—including marking paints, specialty coatings, and industrial formulations—that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, fleet operations, traffic control, and municipal repair projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing inverted marking paints (traffic and graffiti applications), rust-preventive spray coatings, industrial enamels in aerosol format, and specialty products such as insulating varnish sprays and ready-to-spray coatings. The mix of issuing bodies includes city procurement offices (Fort Worth, Charlotte, Phoenix, Orange County Florida), county departments (Hillsborough County, Sarasota County, Santa Clara County, Orange County California), school districts (Donna ISD), and state agencies (Illinois Secretary of State). Repeat buyers and large-scale procurement programs appear concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with solicitation activity spanning the past four months.

Recent opportunities include the City of Fort Worth's RFP for paint and paint supplies (due August 6, 2026) covering interior and exterior latex, industrial alkyd and oil-based enamels, traffic marking paints, and spray equipment with a 30 percent small business participation goal; the City of Phoenix's IFB for inverted marking paint (five-year contract commencing September 2026) using Krylon products as the performance standard; Hillsborough County's ITB for specialty spray paints (estimated value $287,316 over two years, due March 5, 2026) specifying Rust-Oleum and Sprayon brands; the County of Orange California's IFB for traffic, curb, and graffiti paint with thermoplastic markings (firm fixed-fee contract not-to-exceed $1.375 million, five-year term beginning June 15, 2026); and Sarasota County's Quick Quote for 2.5-gallon containers of U.S. Specialty Coatings RoboPAINT RTS in white, blue, red, and yellow (288 containers total). Geographic concentration runs heaviest in Florida and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Arizona, and Illinois. Most contracts are structured as multi-year standing agreements or as-needed supply relationships with firm pricing and delivery windows typically Monday–Friday during business hours; prevailing wage and DBE compliance appear in public-works-classified projects.
