UNSPSC 31201613: Re usable adhesive

UNSPSC 31201613 Reusable adhesive is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers concrete sealants and specialty adhesive products for facility maintenance and transportation infrastructure. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued an IFB for concrete sealant services across multiple facility types including maintenance bases, park-and-ride facilities, and streetcar platforms, specifying penetrating sealers, water-based acrylic sealers, solvent-based acrylic sealers, epoxy or polyurethane sealers, and surface preparation work. Dallas County, Texas solicited fusion tape (1 inch by 0.020 inch by 30 feet), indicating the code's scope extends beyond traditional sealants to adhesive tapes and bonding products used in routine maintenance operations. Issuing bodies under this code include transit authorities and county governments; the OCTA opportunity is the most fully scoped recent solicitation and carries prevailing wage and DBE participation requirements typical of transportation infrastructure contracts.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The OCTA IFB 250318 for concrete sealant services (due October 14, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.) carried an estimated contract value of $250,000 for a one-year term and required bidders to hold California Contractor's License classifications C-8, C-61, or D-06 and demonstrate at least three years of concrete sealant experience; pricing was firm-fixed per square foot with no increases permitted during the contract term and a requirement to match or undercut prices offered to other government entities. The Dallas County fusion tape solicitation 2100758 (due October 1, 2026) provided minimal specification detail beyond the product dimensions. A third opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026), appears to be a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond but does not clearly align with the reusable adhesive commodity scope and may reflect miscategorization in the source material.
