UNSPSC 72153200: Coating and caulking and weather water and fireproofing services

The installation, repair, and maintenance of coatings, caulking, weatherproofing, waterproofing or fireproofing for structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72153200 Coating and caulking and weather water and fireproofing services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure waterproofing, caulking, roof coating, and structural envelope repair services for municipal buildings, schools, utilities infrastructure, and water facilities. The issuing bodies span municipalities (cities of Orlando, Tallahassee, Norwalk, Meriden, Fairfield, Santa Cruz, Bristol, Boston), counties (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Maricopa County Community College District, Macon-Bibb County, Marion County), state agencies (Connecticut Department of Education, State of Oregon), special-purpose districts (Fulton County Department of Watershed Management, San Jacinto Community College District, Austin Community College, Georgia Gwinnett College), towns (Simsbury, Groton, Littleton), and regional authorities (Middle Georgia Regional Airport via Macon-Bibb County). Waterproofing dominates the scope: the City of Kissimmee RFQ sought below-grade foundation waterproofing with excavation, membrane installation, and restoration; the City of Tallahassee solicited general waterproofing at its Senior Center; Hillsborough County Public Schools requested identification of water intrusion sources and building envelope repairs; and the City of Boston budgeted $555 thousand for waterproofing, damp-proofing, and caulking on a new library project. Roof coating and restoration appears frequently—the San Jacinto Community College District sought modified bitumen roof coating on 43,000 square feet (estimated $1.9 million); the City of Meriden's water tank rehabilitation project included removing existing coatings and applying new NSF-certified coating systems. Exterior caulking and weatherization repairs comprise a secondary but consistent stream: the City of Norwalk solicited exterior window and door caulking repairs at police headquarters, and Meriden's public library weatherization project focused on sealant repairs at roof penetrations, vents, and expansion joints.
