UNSPSC 31211512: Latex primers

UNSPSC 31211512 Latex primers, a Commodity code, encompasses latex paint products and primers that state and local governments procure both as standalone supplies and as components of broader painting service contracts. Recent solicitations show procurement bodies buying primers alongside full interior and exterior painting services, transit fleet maintenance paints, building coating supplies, and airfield marking materials. The work ranges from as-needed service contracts at schools and county facilities to multi-year supply agreements for municipal paint inventories and specialized transit or infrastructure applications. Issuing bodies include school districts, city departments, county governments, transportation authorities, and special-purpose districts; Cobb County School District, the City of Fort Worth, the Orange County Transportation Authority, and Sarasota County appear in recent opportunities. The City of Fort Worth's RFP specifies latex primers explicitly alongside industrial enamels, elastomeric coatings, and traffic marking paints as part of a non-exclusive supply agreement with a 30% small business participation goal and a minimum five-year vendor history requirement.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. The Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued RFP P27032 for interior and exterior painting services with responses due November 10, 2026; the City of Lubbock (Texas) sought runway and taxiway marking paint under ITB2619958AE with bids due October 22, 2026; the Orange County Transportation Authority (California) posted IFB 250327 for building painting services at 17 facilities across Orange County with an estimated contract value of $300,000 for a two-year term and bids due June 8, 2026; the City of Fort Worth (Texas) released RFP 26-0224 for paint and paint supplies with responses due August 6, 2026; and Orange County, Florida posted Y26-1008 for commercial interior and exterior painting services with responses due July 7, 2026. Sarasota County (Florida) issued an IFB for interior and exterior painting services on an as-needed basis with a three-year initial contract term and responses due July 15, 2026. Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and state-specific VOC compliance standards (notably SCAQMD in California) appear frequently in scope documents.
