UNSPSC 31211606: Leveling agents

UNSPSC 31211606 Leveling agents, a Commodity code, encompasses surface-preparation materials and finishing compounds used in painting and protective-coating work at state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying leveling agents as part of broader painting and coating projects — interior and exterior wall finishes at school facilities, graffiti abatement and surface restoration on public property, and multi-trade painting-and-siding work on municipal housing stock. The work spans turnkey painting services managed by school districts, specialized graffiti removal requiring pressure-washing and surface-treatment compounds across diverse substrates, and integrated exterior renovation projects subject to prevailing-wage compliance.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Cobb County School District, Georgia), county departments (San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department, California), and municipal development authorities (City of Madison Community Development Authority, Wisconsin). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, California, and Wisconsin, with recent activity in Q2 and Q3 of 2026. Representative opportunities include the Cobb County School District RFP P27032 (Painting Services, 165 properties, due November 10, 2026), the San Bernardino County RFP for Graffiti Abatement Services (three-year contract with two optional renewals, July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, due June 3, 2026), and the City of Madison Community Development Authority's Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon Act compliance and requiring $1,000,000 general liability coverage). San Bernardino County's graffiti RFP specifies prevailing-wage compliance under California Labor Code sections 1770 et seq., a 5 percent local-preference advantage for vendors headquartered within the county, and a $5,000,000 environmental liability insurance floor.
