UNSPSC 72151304: Aircraft painting service

The application of paint to aircraft owned by others

UNSPSC 72151304 Aircraft painting service is a Commodity code that covers protective coatings and painting work on infrastructure and equipment, though state and local opportunities recently solicited under it diverge significantly from the nominal aircraft scope. Recent postings show governments buying general paint and painting supplies through cooperative purchasing frameworks, field-applied protective coatings on water and wastewater systems, and exterior painting and surface preparation on residential and municipal structures. The code also captures aircraft maintenance and support services including anti-corrosion and painting work on fixed wing and rotary wing fleets. Issuing bodies span cooperative purchasing organizations, county utilities and public works departments, city housing authorities subject to prevailing-wage requirements, and state law enforcement agencies. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas and Collier County in Florida appear as recent active buyers in this space.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted a catalog discount bid (PAINT2628, due September 29, 2026) for paint and painting supplies across a two-year estimated expenditure of $10,293,143 as a successor to a prior award involving 21 vendors.
