UNSPSC 73151705: Anodizing material treatment surfacing service

Service that uses an electrolytic process in which the workpiece serves as the anode, the purpose of which is to increase the surface oxide layer to enhance corrosion and wear resistance and adhesion.

UNSPSC 73151705 Anodizing material treatment surfacing service is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass building envelope waterproofing, roof replacement and repair, fire suppression system maintenance, traveling screen maintenance at water treatment facilities, and parking structure repairs—none of which involve anodizing or metal surface treatment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in source systems or that state and local jurisdictions are using it as a catch-all for building envelope and structural repair services.

The issuing bodies soliciting work under this code span state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Recent repeat activity includes the City of Tallahassee (Senior Center waterproofing, posted twice in June and July 2026), the City of Kissimmee (foundation waterproofing at Haven on Vine Apartments, posted October 2026), Macon-Bibb County (fire suppression maintenance at Middle Georgia Regional Airport, posted July 2026), the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (traveling screens maintenance, posted May 2026), and the City of Orlando (parking structure repairs, posted October 2026). School districts and colleges are also active, including Hillsborough County Public Schools (waterproofing services RFP, posted September 2026), San Jacinto Community College District (roof coating, posted June 2026), and Georgia Gwinnett College (roof replacement design-build, posted August 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Florida (Tallahassee, Kissimmee, Orlando, Macon, Marion County) and Georgia (Atlanta, Macon-Bibb County, Gwinnett), with activity also in California, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's RFQ for continuing services on parking structure repairs and renovations (Solicitation RFQU260252, due October 27, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' waterproofing services RFP (RFP 26284-MST, due August 17, 2026), and the City of Kissimmee's cancelled RFQ for foundation waterproofing at Haven on Vine Apartments (RFQNO4, originally due July 8, 2026, including Davis-Bacon and BABA compliance requirements).
