UNSPSC 13101705: Styrene butadiene SBR

UNSPSC 13101705 Styrene butadiene SBR, a Commodity code, encompasses elastomeric polymers and rubber compounds that state and local governments procure primarily for pavement sealant systems, joint sealing materials, and asphalt overlay products used in transportation infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation. Recent solicitations show this code applied to hot poured joint sealants, epoxy polymer concrete overlays, and silicone sealant formulations for bridge and airfield pavement work.

The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, county and municipal public works agencies, airport authorities, and regional transit entities, with particular activity among state DOT offices in Maine and Texas, county transportation departments in California, Florida, Georgia, and Wisconsin, and municipal airport commissions in Georgia. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services (procuring on behalf of the Department of Transportation) and the Texas Department of Transportation represent the most visible recent buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Maine RFQ 17A26041300000000000259 (posted July 1, 2026, due July 15, 2026) for deck seal and epoxy polymer concrete products including 5-gallon and 55-gallon containers with estimated annual usage of 400–5,000 gallons depending on product type, the Texas Department of Transportation ITB 601340000066332 (posted June 26, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for Sikasil 728 RCS silicone sealant in 40 oz sausage kits for bridge applications, and the Illinois Department of Transportation District 5 emergency procurement 26494DOTFINADB52653 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 10, 2026) for hot poured joint sealant. Geographic concentration is notable in the South (Texas, Georgia, Florida, Maine), with secondary activity in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin) and Pacific states (California). Contract structures range from master agreements allowing agency-wide purchasing to emergency procurements and cooperative purchasing frameworks; response dates cluster in the second and third quarters of 2026, indicating spring and summer spending cycles aligned with pavement maintenance seasons.
