UNSPSC 31211508: Acrylic paints

UNSPSC 31211508 Acrylic paints, a Commodity code, encompasses bulk paint procurement by state and local jurisdictions for maintenance, operations, and capital projects—supplies purchases and as-needed painting services work. State and local buyers under this code include correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Orange County and Sarasota County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California), cities (Madison, Wisconsin; Salem, Oregon; Pembroke Pines, Florida), independent school districts (Donna ISD, Texas), state agencies (California, Illinois), and public housing authorities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Orange County, Florida appear as repeat buyers. Solicitations range from straightforward supply contracts—establishing vendor lists for bulk paint and supplies purchases—to integrated painting-services work scopes combining materials and labor. Recent opportunities include both commodity-level paint supply procurements (IFB and RFQ notices establishing multi-year vendor agreements) and project-specific work combining acrylic and specialty coatings with surface preparation, repair, and application labor. Prevailing wage compliance and Davis-Bacon Act adherence appear in work tied to federal funds or public-works classifications.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, California, and Illinois, with additional recent opportunities in Wisconsin and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW256389 for assorted paints due July 13, 2026; Orange County, Florida's Y26-1008 commercial interior and exterior painting services IFB due July 7, 2026, covering multiple county and City of Orlando facilities; the City of Madison, Wisconsin's RFB for the Karabis Apartments exterior painting and siding project due July 17, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements; Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0587 for as-needed interior and exterior painting services due April 14, 2026, requiring prevailing wages under California public-works law; and the State of California's RFB for a three-year painting supplies agreement due April 3, 2026. School districts and municipalities favor local-vendor price preferences and set-asides where permitted; state agencies increasingly mandate green-product compliance and diverse-vendor utilization plans. Electronic submission through proprietary platforms (Bonfire, OpenGov, BidBuy, Biddingo) is standard; questions and pre-bid conferences appear in larger-scope opportunities. Activity is active across all four quarters of 2026.
