UNSPSC 60121539: Drawing fixatives

UNSPSC 60121539 Drawing fixatives is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicited for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis. The recent solicitation under this code shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope (drawing fixatives—spray or aerosol fixatives for artwork, drafting, and similar media) and the actual work being bought. Pasco County, Florida, issued an IFB in May 2026 for bulk agricultural chemicals including herbicides, fertilizers, and custom-blended products for two county maintenance facilities, requiring F.O.B. Destination pricing that covers delivery, hazardous material handling, and all associated labor and equipment. This is grounds maintenance procurement, not protective spray for drawings or artwork. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its actual commodity definition.

Pasco County's IFB-SP-26-074, due June 16, 2026, represents the only recent state-local opportunity posted under this code. The procurement required vendors to demonstrate a minimum of three years' relevant experience and two comparable prior contracts, with award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis potentially across multiple vendors. Products required OSHA Material Safety Data Sheets and packaging compliance (granular products in bags no larger than 50 pounds), with delivery restricted to Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at specified county maintenance facilities. The contract term ran through September 30, 2029, with up to two one-year extensions and bi-annual CPI-U price adjustments. Vendors qualified for Local Vendor Preference if holding a Local Business Tax Receipt, and all offerors required Florida Department of State registration, E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and proof of non-debarment. Comprehensive insurance requirements included workers' compensation ($100,000), general liability ($2,000,000 combined single limits), and automobile liability ($1,000,000). No specific award value or guaranteed purchase volumes were disclosed.
