UNSPSC 31211600: Paint additives

UNSPSC 31211600 Paint additives is a Class code covering paint products, coatings, and associated supplies that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, infrastructure marking, and institutional use. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broad mix of procurement activities: exterior and interior painting services with material supply components, graffiti removal and cover-up operations, traffic and curb marking materials, and institutional paint-and-supplies catalogs for schools. The issuing bodies span county public works departments, county land use agencies, city community development authorities, independent school districts, and county procurement offices. Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act compliance requirements appear consistently across construction-related opportunities, and contractors frequently must hold state licenses (California C-33 Painting and Decorating Contractor's License in multiple instances) and maintain specialized insurance including general liability ($1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence) and workers' compensation coverage.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Wisconsin. The County of Orange in California issued a five-year as-needed contract for traffic, curb, graffiti, and thermoplastic markings with a not-to-exceed value of $1,375,000 and a five percent local small-business preference (bid due February 13, 2026). San Bernardino County in California solicited three-year graffiti abatement services across unincorporated areas via RFP with specialized equipment and 24/7 availability requirements (proposal due June 3, 2026).

All opportunities require electronic submission and include detailed insurance, bonding, and licensing verification.
