UNSPSC 31211523: High temperature paint

Type of paint specially formulated for resisting high temperatures, such as: heaters, furnaces, chimneys, reactors, heat ducts, etc.

UNSPSC 31211523 High temperature paint is a Commodity code covering interior and exterior painting services and related surface-preparation work that state and local governments solicit on both as-needed and project-specific bases. The recent opportunities show a gap between the code name and actual buying activity: the opportunities tagged to this code include general commercial and residential painting services, court resurfacing, and chemical supplies (copper sulfate), none of which are high-temperature paint in the technical sense. State and local buyers using this code designation are primarily school districts, counties, and municipal authorities seeking contractors to deliver turnkey painting across multiple facilities, including surface preparation, caulking, gutter installation, soffit and fascia replacement, and warranty coverage for paint failure and workmanship defects.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, and South Carolina. Cobb County School District (Georgia) posted an RFP for turnkey interior and exterior painting services at multiple facilities on an as-needed basis with a November 10, 2026 response deadline. Orange County, Florida solicited commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management (Y26-1008) with a July 7, 2026 deadline via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, covering multiple county and City of Orlando locations with detailed scope documents and inspection criteria. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin issued an RFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB 15051-0-2026-AH) with a July 17, 2026 deadline, requiring Davis-Bacon Act compliance, prevailing-wage certification, and a two-month maximum contract term. Beaufort County, South Carolina posted an IFB for tennis and pickleball court resurfacing with root treatment and fence replacement (due October 20, 2026), issued with Addendum #1 Revision on September 14, 2026. The mismatch between the code name and solicitation content suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems for general painting rather than high-temperature industrial coatings.
