UNSPSC 13101601: Vulcanized rubber

UNSPSC 13101601 Vulcanized rubber is a Commodity code that encompasses rubber components and finished rubber goods used in automotive, fleet, and equipment repair operations. State and local governments procure vulcanized rubber products—including seals, gaskets, hoses, belts, wiper blades, and brake components—primarily through supply agreements and parts catalogs as part of broader fleet maintenance and vehicle repair contracting. Recent solicitations show this code tagged alongside automotive parts purchasing but often embedded within larger inventory management or parts-supply frameworks rather than as standalone purchases. The issuing bodies include county fleet services departments, municipal public works offices, and school districts operating vehicle fleets. Brevard County Purchasing Services and the City of Atlanta's Department of Public Works Office of Fleet Services are active buyers, while the School Board of Sarasota County procures OEM parts including rubber components (wiper blades, brake pads, filters, bearings) as part of regular automotive repair supply agreements.

Procurement activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings.
