UNSPSC 31211525: Alkyd resin paint

Alkyd resin paint is a complex oil-modified polyester that serves as the film-forming agent in some paints and clear coatings, epoxy ester and primers/finishes etc.

UNSPSC 31211525 Alkyd resin paint (Commodity) covers paint supplies and coating products that state and local governments procure for maintenance, facilities management, and construction work—ranging from general-purpose bulk paint for government operations to specification-grade coatings for specialized surface preparation and exterior work. State and local buyers under this code include state agencies and departments, county facilities management offices, city procurement bureaus, independent school districts, and municipal authorities, with repeat activity from Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Orange County Florida, and state procurement offices. Recent solicitations show a mix of bulk-purchase paint supply agreements and project-specific exterior or interior painting services that include paint as a component, though the code's activity spans both product procurement and labor-inclusive scope. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued two recent assorted-paint IFBs (IW256389 due July 13, 2026, and IW252554 due June 11, 2026) for TDCJ operations across Van Zandt County and Hughes Springs City; the State of California posted a three-year painting supplies RFB due April 3, 2026; the State of Illinois, through Chicago Public Schools and the Chief Procurement Officer of General Services, established a joint purchase master contract for paint and interior/exterior coatings due March 11, 2026, with Green Seal Standard compliance and 6 percent Business Enterprise Program participation goals; and Donna Independent School District in Texas solicited paint and supplies catalog bids due April 8, 2026, for the 2026-2027 school year.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (repeat TDCJ solicitations, Donna ISD), Florida (Orange County, Sarasota County, Pembroke Pines), California (state procurement, Santa Clara County), and Illinois (state procurement through CMS). Exterior and interior painting service solicitations—such as Orange County Y26155 (five-year commercial interior and exterior painting services, 9.6 million square feet estimated scope, due March 24, 2026) and Sarasota County 262870MKM (interior and exterior painting services on an as-needed basis, three-year term, due July 15, 2026)—regularly cross-tag with the alkyd resin paint commodity code, though they center on labor and comprehensive surface preparation rather than paint product alone. Oregon (City of Salem exterior historic-structure painting RFB due May 12, 2026), Wisconsin (City of Madison Community Development Authority exterior painting and siding project RFB due July 17, 2026, Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage subject), and Santa Clara County California (as-needed interior and exterior painting services ITB due April 14, 2026, prevailing-wage public work) round out recent activity. The code shows steady demand across multiple issuing-body types and geographic regions, with both standalone paint supply agreements and integrated painting-services procurements regularly present in the recent-opportunity stream.
