UNSPSC 13101702: Highly saturated nitrile HNBR

UNSPSC 13101702 Highly saturated nitrile HNBR (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities posted under or near this taxonomy tag describe pavement crack sealants, joint sealers, deck coatings, and asphalt-concrete work for roads, parking structures, and airport facilities — none of which involve HNBR elastomers or synthetic rubber compounds as their primary material or functional driver.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local markets. Issuers across Texas (San Antonio, Waxahachie, Collin County, Lubbock, and the Texas Department of Transportation), California (Santa Clara County), Oregon (Salem), Georgia (Atlanta), Maine, and Illinois have posted opportunities for crack sealants, asphalt overlays, pavement rehabilitation, and related infrastructure services, but these procurements are tagged to pavement codes or construction service families, not elastomer materials. The single crack-sealant opportunity from the City of San Antonio Finance Department (IFB 6100019897, due October 16, 2026) specifies PolyFlex Type 3 product meeting ASTM and Texas DOT standards—a polyurethane or polymer-modified compound, not HNBR. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for current state and local demand and verify procurement classification before pursuing bids; the mismatch between code taxonomy and actual market solicitation suggests either misclassification in the state and local system or specialized HNBR demand that is not yet surfacing in posted notices.
