UNSPSC 12165000: Non shrinkage agents

Additives used to prevent cracking and shrinkage in products and to increase strength by minimizing contraction.

UNSPSC 12165000 Non shrinkage agents, Class code, encompasses sealants, treatments, and compounds that state and local governments procure for pavement preservation, joint sealing, and concrete protection—particularly deck sealers, epoxy polymer concrete overlays, and hot poured joint sealants for highways, airports, and parking facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show heavy demand for penetrating concrete sealers, epoxy-based treatments for bridge and runway decks, and silicone or hot-poured materials for crack and joint sealing in pavement systems; the work reflects preventive maintenance and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure rather than new construction.

The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, counties, cities, airport authorities, and special-purpose entities. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, through its Office of State Procurement Services, has posted a master-agreement RFQ for deck sealant and epoxy polymer concrete products with estimated annual usage of 400 gallons of penetrating sealers, 400 gallons of single-layer treatments, 5,000 gallons of double-layer treatments, and 2,000 kits of epoxy polymer concrete overlay, due July 15, 2026. The Texas Department of Transportation solicited Sikasil 728 RCS silicone sealant in 40 oz sausage kits for bridge applications with response due June 26, 2026. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Department of Aviation posted work for joint and crack sealing, runway and taxiway spall repairs, and full-depth slab replacement due June 26, 2026. The City of Urbana, Illinois, sought routing, cleaning, and sealing services on 266,382 linear feet of joint or crack work by April 21, 2026. Dane County, Wisconsin, issued two RFBs for no-box and boxed hot pour sealant (due April 2 and February 23, 2026 respectively), and the State of Illinois Department of Transportation, District 5, executed an emergency small purchase for hot poured joint sealant due June 10, 2026. Georgia airports and counties—including Wayne County, Barrow County, and Heard County—have posted multiple pavement rehabilitation projects incorporating joint sealing, crack sealing, and sealant application as line-item components. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maine, and California, with secondary posting in New Jersey and other Northeastern and Midwest jurisdictions. The code remains active and decision-relevant for firms offering sealant products, application services, or integrated pavement maintenance solutions to transportation and airport clients.
