UNSPSC 31211910: Paint mitts

UNSPSC 31211910 Paint mitts, a Commodity code, encompasses paint supplies and coatings that state and local governments procure for vehicle maintenance, facility upkeep, and infrastructure projects. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures not only paint mitts themselves but a broader category of paint products including latex and alkyd paints, industrial coatings, primers, sealers, specialty finishes, and related sundries such as caulks and sealants. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span transit authorities, municipal departments, and city procurement offices. The Orange County Transportation Authority, City of Dallas Department of Aviation, and City of Fort Worth procurement offices have all posted opportunities in the past three months, typically structured as blanket purchase orders or indefinite-delivery agreements to supply materials on an as-needed basis to internal departments and facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority (Santa Ana and Garden Grove, California) issued IFB 260505 for vehicle paints and supplies due October 26, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $150,000 over a two-year initial term and DBE participation goals subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. The City of Dallas posted an ID/IQ agreement (BU2600030751, due August 21, 2026) for FAA airport paint, glass beads, and Graco equipment parts and service for its Department of Aviation. The City of Fort Worth released RFP 26-0224 (due August 6, 2026) seeking non-exclusive supply agreements for interior and exterior paints, industrial coatings, and spray equipment with a 30% small business participation goal and best-value evaluation weighting experience and local business location preference alongside cost. A fourth opportunity—the Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin (RFB #15051-0-2026, due July 17, 2026)—focused on exterior painting and siding as part of a capital project rather than ongoing supply procurement. Responses typically require proof of insurance, product certifications, and adherence to air quality or prevailing-wage requirements.
