UNSPSC 31211910: Paint mitts

UNSPSC 31211910 Paint mitts is a Commodity code that encompasses painting supplies and related materials, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically tagged to this code. The City of Fort Worth, the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Collier County, and the Illinois Secretary of State have all issued recent opportunities nominally covering painting supplies—Fort Worth's RFP 26-0224 (due August 6, 2026) explicitly names paint mitts alongside interior and exterior latex paints, industrial coatings, primers, sealers, caulks, and spray equipment for delivery to city departments on an as-needed basis; Madison's Karabis Apartments project focuses on exterior painting and siding work rather than supply procurement; and Collier County's ITB 25-8406 and Illinois Secretary of State's RFQ both address paint procurement more broadly. Where paint mitts are actually being solicited as a line item, they appear as consumables within larger painting-supply agreements rather than standalone procurements. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county facilities management divisions, and state administrative agencies, though the source shows only one clear recent opportunity (Fort Worth) where paint mitts are explicitly named as part of the scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas (Fort Worth and Collier County, Florida) and Wisconsin (Madison), with a state-level procurement from Illinois. Fort Worth's RFP requires a minimum five years in business selling paint and equipment and emphasizes small business participation (30% goal for vendors certified in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County), with cost weighted at 15 points, small business participation at 25 points, vendor experience at 25 points, delivery capability at 20 points, and business location preference at 15 points. Collier County's historical annual spending on similar agreements reached approximately $675,380 over the contract term. The Santa Clara County guardrail and safety barrier project posted March 25, 2026, is nominally tagged to this code but concerns traffic striping and barrier installation rather than paint mitts. State and local procurement activity under this specific Commodity code remains limited and fragmented across disparate facility and infrastructure maintenance programs.
