UNSPSC 31211607: Ultraviolet inhibitor

An additive that prevents fading or changing of color due to exposure to ultra violet light.

UNSPSC 31211607 Ultraviolet inhibitor is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement maps primarily to painting and surface-coating services rather than chemical additives in their pure form. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying interior and exterior painting services, graffiti abatement and surface restoration, and specialized coating work on building exteriors and public infrastructure. The issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, and municipal development authorities; Cobb County School District and San Bernardino County have posted multiple related opportunities in the past six months. Work includes turnkey painting across district facilities, graffiti removal from diverse surfaces (wood, metal, stucco, concrete, brick), exterior preparation and coating application, and compliance with prevailing-wage and performance-bonding requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued RFP P27032 on October 13, 2026, seeking interior and exterior painting services at multiple facilities on an as-needed basis, with proposals due November 10, 2026. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, issued an IFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project on June 29, 2026, requiring exterior surface preparation, gutter and soffit replacement, and painting with Davis-Bacon Act compliance and a two-month contract term; site visits were available through Robert Bryce Gruner at 608-235-2460, and questions closed July 3, 2026. San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department posted RFP LUSD26LUS6401 on May 13, 2026, for comprehensive graffiti abatement services across unincorporated areas with a three-year term (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029), 48-hour standard response time, required Department of Industrial Relations registration, $5,000,000 environmental liability insurance, and a local preference policy providing 5 percent cost advantage to vendors headquartered within the county; proposals were due June 3, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. PST.
