UNSPSC 31211513: Marking paint

Also called inverted marking paint. Used in surveying, sports, construction and highway engineering to mark ground surfaces.

UNSPSC 31211513 Marking paint is a Commodity code that covers paint products for traffic control, infrastructure maintenance, and facility upkeep purchased by state departments, school districts, and local governments on both standing and project-specific bases. State and local buyers procure marking paint primarily for pavement striping, road maintenance, and building exterior work; the code captures both specialized traffic-marking formulations (waterborne acrylic, reflective finishes) and general-purpose commercial exterior and interior paints used in facility management and construction projects. The issuing-body mix includes state transportation departments, independent school districts, counties, cities, and regional authorities. San Antonio Independent School District appears multiple times in the recent opportunities block as a repeat buyer of maintenance services and supplies on a continuous, open-ended basis; Orange County, Florida and the City of Pembroke Pines also show sustained procurement activity in painting services that include marking and exterior coatings. The procurement structure varies widely—some solicitations are as-needed catalog bids or standing vendor pools, while others are discrete project-based contracts with firm scopes and timelines.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (San Antonio ISD multiple solicitations), Florida (Orange County, Collier County, City of Pembroke Pines), California (Caltrans Division 11, Santa Clara County), and Utah (UDOT statewide), with secondary activity in Arizona and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Utah Department of Transportation IFB for pavement marking acrylic water-based paint (UDOT260166BG, due February 13, 2026) seeking a single vendor to supply waterborne traffic paint in multiple formulations and container sizes for statewide distribution; the City of Pembroke Pines IFB for exterior painting of Pembroke Pines Charter School (PSPW2605, due April 28, 2026, estimated project cost $220,000) requiring Sherwin Williams Latitude and Pro Industrial coatings with seven-year warranties; and Orange County, Florida's solicitation for commercial interior and exterior painting services (Y26-155, due March 24, 2026) covering approximately 9.6 million square feet over five years with a fee schedule of 54 line items at standard and non-standard heights. San Antonio ISD has issued multiple rolling RFPs for general maintenance supplies and equipment (26-013(RV) series, most recently due August 15, 2026) on a continuous, open-ended basis with no minimum purchase guarantee, accepting marked-up catalogs and hourly labor rates from multiple awarded vendors.
