UNSPSC 13101708: Silicone VMQ and PMQ and PVMQ

UNSPSC 13101708 Silicone VMQ and PMQ and PVMQ (Commodity) covers elastomeric sealants and adhesives that state and local governments procure for pavement joint sealing, crack repair, and deck protection in highway, airport, and facility maintenance work. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring both silicone-based joint sealants (such as Sikasil 728 RCS) for bridge and pavement applications and polyurethane or proprietary crack sealants (PolyFlex Type 3) for asphaltic concrete pavement repair. The issuing bodies span transportation departments, counties, cities, and special districts: Texas Department of Transportation (Lubbock District), City of San Antonio, City of Waxahachie, County of Santa Clara, State of Maine Department of Transportation, State of Illinois Department of Transportation (District 5), and Collin County. Counties and state highway departments dominate the recent activity, with repeat procurement from TxDOT and Santa Clara County reflecting ongoing pavement maintenance programs.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas and California, with secondary activity in Maine, Illinois, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District's IFB for 288 kits of Sikasil 728 RCS silicone joint sealant and 72 heavy-duty caulking guns, with bids due August 14, 2026; the City of San Antonio's IFB 6100019897 for PolyFlex Type 3 crack sealant in two 30-35 pound blocks per box for asphaltic concrete pavement, with bids due October 16, 2026; and the State of Maine's RFQ for deck sealant systems and epoxy polymer concrete overlay kits with quotations due July 15, 2026. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, include firm fixed pricing with FOB destination delivery, and require compliance with state transportation standards (TxDOT Item 300 or ASTM specifications). Minimum order volumes and delivery windows are common (e.g., Monday–Thursday daytime delivery in San Antonio; 24-hour turnaround in Collin County liquid asphalt procurements). No set-asides or preference programs specific to this commodity code appear in the recent opportunities; however, some jurisdictions (Texas, Maine) apply tie-breaking criteria favoring locally produced or USA-produced materials.
