UNSPSC 60121001: Paintings

UNSPSC 60121001 Paintings is a Commodity code encompassing artwork and painted finishes across multiple contexts in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities under this code reflect divergent purchasing patterns: San Mateo County Probation Department solicited instruction in painting and creative arts as part of a juvenile creative-arts program with a structured curriculum; the District of Columbia Department of Public Works sought paint and painting supplies specifically for graffiti removal; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a cooperative-purchasing catalog-discount bid for paint and painting supplies with estimated expenditures of $10.3 million over two years; Collier County sought protective paint and coating services for above-ground potable water, wastewater, and irrigation pipes; and the City of Madison sought exterior painting and siding work on residential apartments. The issuing bodies span county probation and public-works departments, state purchasing cooperatives, utility departments, and municipal development authorities, indicating activity across diverse jurisdictions and service lines. The code captures both consumable supplies (paint and materials for maintenance and repair) and labor-intensive services (instructional programs, coatings application on infrastructure, and building restoration).

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, which serves Texas school districts and agencies), California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), the District of Columbia, and Wisconsin (City of Madison). The most substantial recent opportunity is Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount bid for paint and painting supplies (PAINT2628), posted August 24, 2026, with bids due September 29, 2026, establishing a two-year contract term from October 15, 2026 through October 15, 2028 at $10.3 million estimated expenditures. Other representative recent solicitations include San Mateo County Probation Department's RFP for a Juvenile Creative Arts Program (due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated October 30, 2026, on a three-year term), Collier County's IFQ for aerial painting services on water and wastewater infrastructure (due September 3, 2026, with historical annual county spending near $675,380), and the City of Madison's RFB for the Karabis Apartments painting and siding project (due July 17, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing-wage requirements). The code shows active, diverse procurement across maintenance, repair, instruction, and infrastructure protection.
