UNSPSC 72153201: Plastic coating of concrete structures service

The installation of plastic coating on concrete structures in structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72153201 Plastic coating of concrete structures service (Commodity) encompasses inspection, repair, and application of protective coatings—including epoxy, polyuria, powder coat, and ceramic finishes—to industrial and municipal infrastructure. State and local governments procure this work primarily through cities and counties for wastewater treatment plants, utility equipment, and public facilities. Recent solicitations show work spanning corrosion-resistant coatings on sewage treatment equipment, refurbishment and powder-coating of public receptacles, and restoration coatings on culvert linings. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities departments (City of Tampa Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant), city public services divisions (City of Austin), county utilities (Marion County), and town public works departments (Town of Simsbury, Connecticut). Most activity centers on heavy-duty industrial coating applications requiring sandblasting, surface preparation, multi-layer epoxy or ceramic application, and precision finishing work to protect equipment from abrasion and corrosion in harsh environments.

Recent opportunities reflect concentrated activity in Florida and scattered solicitation across the Northeast and Texas. The City of Tampa issued an ITB (26P00212) on June 26, 2026, for sewage equipment coating application and repair services with a one-year term plus optional renewals, designated as a sheltered market contract exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with an estimated value of $50,000. The City of Austin posted a rebid IFB (IFB1500SDS1002REBID) on August 31, 2026, for refurbishing trash and recycling receptacles—including powder-coat stripping, sandblasting, and multi-layer protective coating—with bids due September 24, 2026, and optional small business and local business preferences available. The Town of Simsbury, Connecticut, solicited trenchless culvert restoration services via RFP (36815) on May 13, 2026, accepting epoxy coating and geopolymer lining methods, with proposals due June 2, 2026. Opportunities show varied insurance and compliance requirements, with set-asides appearing selectively (SLBE designation in Tampa, optional preferences in Austin, no restrictions in Simsbury). Response dates and contract values vary widely—from $50,000 sheltered procurements to multi-year term contracts without disclosed ceilings.
