UNSPSC 73181100: Coating services

UNSPSC 73181100 Coating services is a Class code covering a broad range of protective and decorative surface treatments applied to vehicles, equipment, structures, and infrastructure by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to procure glass repair and tinting services for municipal fleets, security-grade window tinting for public facilities, exterior tank repainting with specialized hazardous-material remediation, fleet collision repair and body shop services with refinishing work, and vehicle graphic wraps on transit buses. The scope spans routine maintenance coatings, specialized protective systems for critical assets, and cosmetic finishes. Issuing bodies include cities (Atlanta, South Fulton, Norwich, McKinney, Albuquerque, DeBary), counties (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), transit authorities (Austin Community College District, City of Albuquerque Transit), and independent school districts (Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD), with repeat activity from South Fulton and Montgomery County on heavy-duty vehicle work and security upgrades.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (South Fulton, McKinney, Los Fresnos), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Connecticut (Norwich), Georgia (Atlanta, South Fulton), and scattered single solicitations in Florida, New Mexico, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation's SOQ-to-IFB for glass repair and tinting services due June 18, 2026 (PE66062NONST2026000000392); Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's window tint installation on the Youth Center due June 11, 2026 (Solicitation 6607); Norwich Public Utilities' RFP for LNG exterior tank repainting due June 1, 2026 (26-65R), requiring AMPP/SSPC QP-1 and QP-2 certifications and on-site Competent Person credentials; the City of South Fulton's collision repair and body shop RFP due May 28, 2026 (RFP 26-25); and the City of McKinney's annual window tinting contract ITB due April 20, 2026 (2658ITB), with an estimated annual spend of $10,000. Prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in Pennsylvania and Georgia procurements, and pre-bid site visits are standard for facility-specific work. Turnaround-time performance is a material evaluation factor across fleet maintenance and glass service solicitations.
