UNSPSC 73101611: Paints or varnishes or lacquers production services

UNSPSC 73101611 Paints or varnishes or lacquers production services (Commodity) covers the supply and application of paint, varnish, and related coatings in state and local renovation and facilities-maintenance work. Recent solicitations reflect two distinct work streams under this code: supply contracts for catalog discounts on paint and painting materials sold to multiple jurisdictions through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and labor-intensive exterior and interior painting services tied to specific capital projects or ongoing facilities management. The issuing bodies span cooperative purchasing organizations, city development authorities, state departments, and county facilities-management divisions, with purchasing cooperatives and county governments appearing as repeat buyers in the recent activity.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas and Florida, with recent opportunities including Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's $10.293 million catalog-discount bid for paint and painting supplies (PAINT2628, due September 29, 2026), the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin's Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements), the Texas Department of Public Safety's Houston Regional Headquarters renovation including interior and exterior painting (Solicitation 26R0019956, due June 25, 2026 with mandatory site visit), and Orange County, Florida's commercial interior and exterior painting services for facilities management (Y26-1008, due July 7, 2026 via OpenGov e-Procurement Platform). Cooperative purchasing bids typically target multi-year framework agreements with volume discounts; project-specific solicitations often require prevailing-wage compliance, comprehensive insurance, site visits, and detailed product specifications.
