UNSPSC 31142803: Neoprene dip molding

Dip molding produced from various neoprene compounds

UNSPSC 31142803 Neoprene dip molding is a Commodity code covering the purchase of specialized injection molding equipment and related manufacturing machinery by state and local institutions. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows universities and research institutions buying precision injection molding machines to support polymer research, materials science, and manufacturing education programs. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services is the primary recent issuing body identified, soliciting equipment for academic research and training rather than commercial production.

The University of Southern Mississippi issued an IFB (Sealed Bid 3160008023, due May 12, 2026) for a 110-ton electric injection molding machine with strict dimensional and thermal specifications designed to fit within the Mississippi Polymer Institute Processing Lab. The university requires a maximum 16-week delivery lead time, one full day of installation and familiarization, three days of onsite or online training, a minimum one-year warranty, and lifetime online and on-call technical support. No incumbent vendor or contract value was disclosed. The solicitation is limited to Mississippi and reflects higher-education procurement; no other recent opportunities under this code are present in the source material.
