UNSPSC 31180000: Packings glands boots and covers

UNSPSC 31180000 Packings glands boots and covers is a Family code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity presently posted under it. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code address sand trap, grease trap, septic tank, and storm vault cleaning services; plumbing equipment, fixtures, and supplies; restroom renovations; drainage system construction; and generator and tank replacement—none of which involve packings, glands, boots, covers, or any sealing or protective component products that the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual goods and services being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic divergence between the taxonomy and procurement practice at this tier.

State and local governments issuing under this code span cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose authorities across Texas, Florida, Connecticut, California, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and other jurisdictions. Recent opportunities include the City of Dallas (sand trap and grease trap cleaning, ID/IQ, due August 14, 2026), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (maintenance supplies and services, IFB, due August 6, 2026), Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia (restroom renovations, RFB, due August 5, 2026), the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (industrial pipe and fittings supply, IFB, due August 12, 2026), and the City of Pembroke Pines (park restroom renovations, IFB, due July 21, 2026). No recent opportunities address the packings, glands, boots, and covers that define this Family code. The code shows substantial activity in plumbing, wastewater, and facilities maintenance across multiple issuing-body types, but the work being bought diverges entirely from the code's stated commodity scope.
