UNSPSC 13101706: Chloroprene CR

UNSPSC 13101706 Chloroprene CR is a Commodity code covering synthetic rubber sealant materials used in pavement joint sealing and concrete protection applications. State and local governments procure this material primarily for airfield, roadway, and parking structure rehabilitation—specifically hot-poured joint sealants, crack-sealing compounds, and epoxy polymer concrete overlays that are applied to Portland cement concrete and asphalt pavements to extend service life and prevent water infiltration. The recent solicitations show a mix of state departments of transportation, county transportation authorities, municipal airports, and transit-adjacent public entities acquiring these materials on both small-purchase and master-agreement bases. The Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Collin County Texas, and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) are standout repeat buyers for joint sealant and pavement protection products.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the upper Midwest, with scattered procurement across California and Florida. The State of Maine (RFQ17A26041300000000000259, posted July 1, 2026, due July 15, 2026) solicited deck sealant systems and epoxy polymer concrete kits for a master agreement covering all state agencies, estimating annual usage of 5,000 gallons of double-layer treatments and 2,000 epoxy overlay kits. TxDOT (Solicitation 601340000066332, posted June 26, due June 26, 2026) requested Sikasil 728 RCS silicone sealant in 40 oz sausage kits for bridge joint applications. The Illinois Department of Transportation District 5 (ITBRD-26-26DOTFINADB52653, posted June 5, due June 10, 2026) issued an emergency small purchase for hot-poured joint sealant. Collin County Texas issued multiple solicitations in late June for liquid asphalts, asphaltic concrete, and aggregates under separate IFBs (2026-277, 2026-280, 2026-278), with response dates July 16, 2026, indicating sustained county-level demand for pavement materials across multiple product lines. These procurements typically follow competitive sealed-bid (IFB) or RFQ processes with firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, and annual contract terms with renewal options. Activity is steady but not concentrated—the code reflects commodity-level purchasing distributed across transportation maintenance budgets rather than a single high-volume procurement environment.
