UNSPSC 31211708: Powder coat

UNSPSC 31211708 Powder coat is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity encompasses surface protection and finishing services for concrete and similar infrastructure surfaces. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) solicited concrete sealant services under IFB 250318, covering penetrating sealers, water-based and solvent-based acrylic sealers, epoxy or polyurethane sealers, and concrete surface preparation across twelve facilities and sixteen OC Streetcar platforms in Orange County, California. The scope includes surface cleaning, crack filling, patching, and application via spray, roller, or brush methods, with all materials required to comply with air quality and VOC regulations. Issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to the code include regional transit authorities and county governments; OCTA appears as the repeat buyer in the recent opportunities block. Work is performed at transportation and maintenance facilities owned by public entities, with prevailing wage and DBE participation requirements typical of transit authority contracting.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The OCTA concrete sealant contract represents the most closely aligned recent opportunity, with bids due October 14, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., an estimated value of $250,000 for a one-year term starting November 1, 2026, and a requirement for California Contractor's License classification C-8, C-61, or D-06 with three years of demonstrated concrete sealant experience. Dallas County, Texas posted a bids-due notice for fusion tape (reference 2100758) on October 1, 2026, though that solicitation appears tangential to the powder coat code's nominal scope. A third opportunity—Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of Minnesota and Washington jurisdictions—is unrelated to powder coat and reflects a mislabeling in the state and local coding.
