UNSPSC 31142802: Latex dip molding

Dip molding produced from various latex compounds

UNSPSC 31142802 Latex dip molding is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers the purchase and installation of specialized injection molding equipment. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services solicited sealed bids in April 2026 for a 110-ton electric injection molding machine to support polymer processing and research at the Mississippi Polymer Institute; the solicitation required bidders to meet exacting dimensional and thermal specifications, including a 40mm screw diameter, 171-gram shot size, and maximum barrel temperatures of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, with the machine constrained to fit through doorways measuring 82 inches high by 70 inches wide. The issuing body is a higher-education institution procuring research and instructional equipment rather than a state agency, county, or municipal purchasing office. The solicitation calls for sealed bids using F.O.B. Destination Freight Allowed pricing, with contract award going to the lowest responsible bidder; vendors must deliver within 16 weeks, provide one full day of installation and familiarization, three days of training (onsite or online), a minimum one-year warranty, and lifetime technical support.

Recent activity is limited to a single documented opportunity in Mississippi, with bids due May 12, 2026. The University of Southern Mississippi's procurement office represents the sole recent state and local posting under this code in the available data. No other jurisdictions, repeat-buyer patterns, or opportunities across additional states appear in the source. The code shows minimal current activity in state and local procurement overall.
