UNSPSC 13101711: Ethylene acrylic AEM

UNSPSC 13101711 Ethylene acrylic AEM, a Commodity code, describes elastomeric sealant materials that state and local governments procure for pavement maintenance and repair—specifically crack sealing, joint sealing, and deck coating applications on roads, parking structures, and airport infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, county public works, municipal procurement offices, and special-purpose districts (airport authorities, transit agencies) buying polyFlex and silicone sealants formulated to meet transportation agency specifications for asphaltic and Portland cement concrete surfaces.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, California, and the Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities from the City of San Antonio (IFB 6100019897 for PolyFlex Type 3 crack sealant, due October 16, 2026), the Texas Department of Transportation Lubbock District (IFB 601340000066820 for silicone joint sealant kits and caulking guns, due August 14, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Procurement Department (multiple pavement and trail reconstruction and repair ITBs spanning July through October 2026), Collin County Texas (multiple road materials IFBs for asphaltic concrete and liquid asphalts), the City of Waxahachie (RFP 20240601 for miscellaneous pavement repairs including asphalt and concrete work), and the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services (RFQ 17A26041300000000000259 for deck sealant systems and epoxy polymer concrete, due July 15, 2026). Sealant procurement is typically bundled with broader pavement rehabilitation and repair contracts rather than issued as standalone material buys, though material-only specifications do appear in transportation maintenance calendars. Award is typically made on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis with pricing firm, fixed-price, and FOB Destination with freight prepaid. No set-aside designations are standard for this commodity, though prevailing wage applies when work is performed on public infrastructure.
