UNSPSC 47131610: Floor finish applicator

UNSPSC 47131610 Floor finish applicator is a Commodity code covering the application of protective and aesthetic floor coatings—epoxy, wax, urethane, and related products—to existing floor surfaces in public and institutional facilities. State and local governments procure this work primarily through school districts and county or municipal authorities to maintain gymnasium floors, airport terminals, restrooms, and other high-traffic spaces. Recent solicitations show demand for epoxy application over tile (Southwest Florida International Airport's non-public restroom remodels), gym floor screening and re-coating with water-based urethanes (Pinellas County Schools), and floor stripping and waxing services across multiple school buildings (Jackson County Schools, Mississippi). The work is typically bundled with ancillary services—removal and replacement of fixtures, material delivery, surface preparation, and warranty provision—and often carries specific brand or performance requirements such as Sherwin-Williams Duraflex or Buckeye Reflections products. Issuing bodies include airport authorities, county and municipal governments, school districts, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member institutions.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central regions, with recent opportunities posted from Florida (Southwest Florida International Airport, Pinellas County Schools), Georgia (Madison County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), South Carolina (Dorchester County), Mississippi (Jackson County Schools), Missouri (Jackson County), and Texas (Northside ISD San Antonio, Donna ISD Cameron County). The Lee County Port Authority (Florida) posted RFB 260041LB due April 23, 2026, for Sherwin-Williams Duraflex epoxy application in twelve non-public restrooms with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 7, 2026, requiring three years' prior experience and fixed pricing inclusive of labor and materials. Jackson County Schools (Mississippi) issued an RFP due April 24, 2026, for floor stripping and waxing across nine school facilities on two campuses, with mandatory walkthroughs on April 13, 2026. Pinellas County Schools (Florida) solicited gym floor screening and re-coating with Buckeye Arena 300 urethanes due February 4, 2026. Contracts typically run one to two years with annual renewal options, carry performance and payment bonds (often 100 percent of contract value), require comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance, and include mandatory site visits and pre-bid meetings. No set-asides or DBE restrictions appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
