UNSPSC 13101701: Acrylonitrile butadiene NBR

UNSPSC 13101701 Acrylonitrile butadiene NBR is a Commodity code that covers synthetic rubber compounds and elastomer materials used in industrial applications, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the nominal commodity classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly reflect pavement sealants, asphalt treatments, joint sealing, and concrete repair products—materials that may incorporate elastomeric components but are specified and procured as finished sealant or coating systems rather than raw rubber compounds. State and local buyers soliciting under or near this code include state transportation departments, county public works offices, municipal transit and airport authorities, universities, and special-purpose districts managing transportation infrastructure. The Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services (Office of State Procurement Services), Texas Department of Transportation, Collin County, Harris County Department of Education, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Department of Aviation), Illinois Department of Transportation, and Dane County have posted recent opportunities, though the scope divergence between the code's stated commodity and actual procurement suggests this code may be applied inconsistently or as a secondary classification on purchasing documents.

Recent opportunities identified under or near this code reflect pavement joint sealing, deck sealant systems, asphalt concrete treatments, and aggregate materials. The Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services issued RFQ17A26041300000000000259 (due July 15, 2026) for deck seal and epoxy polymer concrete products including penetrating concrete sealers, deck treatments, and epoxy polymer concrete overlay kits—a master agreement vehicle open to all state departments and agencies. The Texas Department of Transportation posted solicitation 601340000066332 (due June 26, 2026) for Sikasil 728 RCS silicone sealant in 40 oz sausage kits for bridge applications. Collin County, Texas has been active with multiple IFBs for road materials including liquid asphalts (IFB 2026-277, due July 16, 2026), asphaltic concrete (IFB 2026-280, due July 16, 2026), and aggregate for surface treatments (IFB 2026-278, due July 16, 2026)—all estimated in the six-figure range. Geographic spread reflects concentrated activity in Texas (Collin County, Harris County, TxDOT statewide), Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Fulton County, Wayne County, Barrow County), and scattered single-state activity in Maine, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and Florida. The code shows irregular activity and misalignment between its nominal scope (raw elastomer compounds) and actual procurement (finished sealant and concrete treatment products), suggesting buyers may apply it inconsistently or as a catchall for chemistry-related pavement maintenance inputs.
