UNSPSC 72151303: Industrial painting service

The application of paint to industrial structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72151303 Industrial painting service, a Commodity code, encompasses interior and exterior surface preparation, coating application, and finish work on buildings, infrastructure, and equipment for state departments, county governments, municipalities, community colleges, special districts, and transit authorities. State and local buyers solicit industrial painting across facility renovation, building maintenance, tank and tank farm restoration, water storage infrastructure, and specialized coating work requiring compliance with prevailing wage standards, environmental regulations, and performance specifications. The issuing bodies range widely: Washington community colleges (Skagit Valley, Edmonds, Columbia Basin, Shoreline, Whatcom, Bellingham, Yakima Valley, Lower Columbia) and state departments (Enterprise Services, Labor & Industries, Corrections, Children Youth & Families, Social & Health Services) appear frequently in the recent bid stream, alongside county governments (Portage County, Wisconsin; San Bernardino County; Orange County, Florida; Candler County, Georgia; Sarasota County, Florida), cities (Long Beach, Huntsville and Madison, Wisconsin), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and special districts (Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida). Work ranges from straightforward interior and exterior wall painting—as in Portage County's courthouse renovation (nine trade packages including painting and taping due July 23, 2026) and the Orange County Transportation Authority's building painting services at 17 facilities across Orange County ($300,000 estimated contract value for two years, with bids due June 8, 2026)—to specialized industrial coating on potable water storage tanks and pump stations, exemplified by San Bernardino County's CSA 70 J recoating project covering ten water tanks and seven booster pump station buildings with abrasive blast cleaning to SSPC-SP10 standards and epoxy-urethane coating systems (bids due July 16, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid attendance required).

Recent activity concentrates in Washington State (particularly community college and state agency facilities across the Puget Sound region), California (Orange County, San Bernardino County, Long Beach), Georgia (Candler County Courthouse, South Georgia State College, DeKalb County), Texas (Huntsville, San Antonio), Florida (Orange County, Pinellas County health department facilities, Polk County water authority), and Wisconsin (Portage County). Representative solicitations include Mt. San Antonio Community College District's Building 26 A, B, C & D Exterior Paint Project prequalification phase (July 8, 2026 posting, with prevailing wage requirements, Community Workforce Agreement provisions, and a 3% DVBE participation goal); Candler County Courthouse repairs encompassing ceiling repairs, water damage remediation, and repainting across multiple interior areas (sealed proposals due August 10, 2026 with $1 million general liability insurance requirement); City of Huntsville's William Hodges Building painting including interior wall repairs and exterior porch restoration (sealed bids due May 26, 2026 with 60-day completion requirement and $1,500 per-day liquidated damages); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's interior painting of Building 766 at San Antonio State Supported Living Center (occupied-building work performed Monday–Friday during business hours, with mandatory site visits May 11–12 and final proposals due May 21, 2026). Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: prevailing wage compliance and prevailing wage documentation, Davis-Bacon Act requirements, community workforce agreements, MBE/WBE/SBE/DVBE participation goals, and local-hiring provisions (such as Long Beach's 40% local hiring goal calculated on total hours) are standard on public works painting contracts in California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida jurisdictions.
