UNSPSC 13101709: Fluorosilicone FVMQ

UNSPSC 13101709 Fluorosilicone FVMQ is a Commodity code that does not accurately reflect the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code concern hot poured joint sealant, crack sealant, and deck sealant systems for pavement and infrastructure repair—products that fall outside the fluorosilicone FVMQ material specification entirely. The code shows little relevant recent activity when filtered to actual fluorosilicone elastomer procurement; instead, it captures miscellaneous pavement repair and joint-sealing work that includes asphaltic concrete, Portland cement concrete, guardrail systems, traffic signal modifications, and general infrastructure rehabilitation at airports, counties, and municipalities.

State and local issuers soliciting work tagged under this code include cities (San Antonio, Waxahachie, Salem), counties (Santa Clara, Collin, Santa Clara), the Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District, the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, and the University of Texas system. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (San Antonio, Waxahachie, Lubbock, and Collin County), California (Santa Clara County), and scattered activity in Maine, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio Finance Department's IFB 6100019897 for crack sealant (PolyFlex Type 3, two 30–35 pound blocks per box, FOB Destination, three-year contract term with two one-year renewal options, bids due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time); the Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District's IFB 601340000066820 for joint sealer and caulking guns (288 kits of silicone joint sealant and 72 heavy-duty caulking guns, responses due August 14, 2026); and the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services RFQ 17A26041300000000000259 for deck seal and epoxy polymer concrete (penetrating sealers, single and double-layer deck treatments, and epoxy polymer concrete kits, quotations due July 15, 2026). The code mismatch signals that either the commodity taxonomy needs refinement or procurement offices are applying the code to broader pavement-maintenance work than the fluorosilicone product category supports.
