UNSPSC 12163500: Oil well sealants

UNSPSC 12163500 Oil well sealants is a Class code that in recent state and local activity encompasses concrete sealant services — surface preparation, sealant supply and application, and related maintenance at facilities operated by transportation authorities and county governments. The Orange County Transportation Authority's recent IFB 250318 illustrates the scope: concrete sealant work on parking facilities, maintenance bases, and transit platforms across multiple locations, priced separately by sealant type (penetrating sealer, water-based acrylic, solvent-based acrylic, epoxy or polyurethane) and surface preparation, with all labor, materials, and waste disposal bundled into firm-fixed rates per square foot. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include regional transit authorities and county governments; the code sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the OCTA opportunity representing the most concrete and detailed posting.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250318 for concrete sealant services across twelve facilities and sixteen OC Streetcar platforms in Orange County, California, with an estimated contract value of $250,000 and bids due October 14, 2026, requiring California Contractor's License holders with C-8, C-61, or D-06 classification and three years of concrete sealant experience; the contract is subject to prevailing wage and federal DOT DBE requirements. Dallas County, Texas posted a solicitation for fusion tape (1 inch by 0.020 inch by 30 feet) with bids due October 1, 2026, though this posting appears tangential to the code's nominal scope. A third opportunity, Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Minnesota and Washington jurisdictions, is unrelated to oil well or concrete sealants and represents a code-tagging mismatch rather than relevant recent activity.
