UNSPSC 13101704: Ethylene propylene EP

UNSPSC 13101704 Ethylene propylene EP is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as crack sealant for pavement maintenance and repair, grounded in recent solicitations for asphalt and concrete pavement crack sealing. The work spans highway and road maintenance performed by departments of transportation, counties, cities, and municipalities. Recent opportunities show this commodity embedded in broader pavement rehabilitation and repair contracts where sealants are one line item among multiple repair activities—crack sealing appears alongside asphalt overlays, concrete curb and gutter installation, spall repairs, and joint sealing across roadway infrastructure. City public works departments and county transportation authorities are the primary issuing bodies, alongside state DOT offices and special-purpose districts managing airport and transit infrastructure.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, and the Upper Midwest. The City of San Antonio Finance Department posted an IFB on October 15, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for PolyFlex Type 3 crack sealant meeting Texas DOT Standard Specifications and ASTM standards, with delivery required to the Southeast Service Center, three-year term with annual price-adjustment provisions, and a mandatory pre-submittal conference. The County of Santa Clara Procurement Department solicited a broader Pavement Installation and Repair Services ITB (ITB-PRC-FY27-0066, due August 31, 2026) with an estimated contract sum of $2.5 million spanning concrete, asphalt, and decomposed granite work across county roads, expressways, and parking lots. The Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District posted an IFB for joint sealer and tools (August 7, 2026, due August 14, 2026) naming Sikasil 728 RCS silicone joint sealant as the specification-compliant product, alongside heavy-duty caulking guns. These contracts typically include FOB Destination pricing with prepaid freight, prevailing-wage requirements on public works, performance and bid bonds, and insurance mandates. The code shows active, recurring procurement across state DOT districts and municipal public works offices, with crack sealant and joint sealant materials purchased under routine maintenance contracts and capital rehabilitation projects.
