UNSPSC 72151301: Residential painting service

The application of paint to residences owned by others

UNSPSC 72151301 Residential painting service is a Commodity code that describes interior and exterior wall painting, surface preparation, and finishing work on residential and mixed-use buildings. State and local governments procure this code to support maintenance, renovation, and facility-improvement projects across administrative buildings, correctional facilities, parks, community centers, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities. Recent opportunities span municipalities, counties, state departments, community colleges, water districts, and specialized agencies executing painting scopes ranging from single-structure interior renovations to multi-facility annual maintenance contracts and specialized infrastructure work such as water-tank recoating and traffic-signal mast-arm painting.

The mix of issuing bodies is geographically diverse and institutionally varied. Cities including Huntsville and Ocala in Texas, Altamonte Springs in Florida, Rome and Athens-Clarke County in Georgia, Long Beach and Santa Clara County in California, and Torrington in Connecticut have posted opportunities. State agencies in Texas, Georgia, and Washington have issued bids or RFQs for dormitory, facility, and campus painting and renovation work. Community colleges in Washington—Clover Park Technical College, Everett Community College, Lake Washington Institute of Technology, and South Seattle College—solicit painting and related interior work. Special-purpose districts including Eastern Municipal Water District in California, New Smyrna Beach Utilities in Florida, and the Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County have procured painting or coating services as components of larger infrastructure rehabilitation projects. A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a two-year catalog discount bid on paint and supplies with estimated expenditures of $10,293,143, indicating substantial aggregate demand. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Huntsville, Texas ITB for half-million-gallon water-tank restoration and recoating (bids due October 27, 2026); the City of Ocala, Florida ITB for three-year mast-arm painting services across 21 intersections with FDOT and Society for Protective Coatings certification requirements (bids due January 5, 2026); the County of Solano, California RFP for protective coatings on multiple county properties under FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding (bids due October 19, 2026); Gwinnett County, Georgia RFP for general facilities maintenance and painting services across over 300 county-managed facilities on an annual contract (proposals due October 21, 2026); and Henry County, Georgia quote for interior paint and remodel with ADA compliance upgrades (submissions due August 18, 2026). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, and Washington, with secondary activity across Connecticut and other states. The code shows sustained activity with mixed procurement structures—ITBs predominate for discrete painting projects, while RFPs are used for multi-facility annual or term-based contracts and specialized infrastructure work subject to federal funding or compliance standards.
