UNSPSC 31201613: Re usable adhesive

UNSPSC 31201613 Reusable adhesive (Commodity) covers adhesive products used across state and local government facilities and equipment maintenance, though recent solicitations show mixed coding alignment — state and local jurisdictions are actually buying adhesives, sealants, and caulking as part of broader facility maintenance, construction, and equipment-service contracts rather than standalone adhesive procurement. The University of Texas at Tyler's Liberty Landing Apartments painting project specifies zero-VOC Sherwin-Williams paint with tub and shower caulking as integral to move-in-ready finishing; Seminole County's term contract explicitly requires caulking, coatings, joint sealants, and pressure washing services as bundled property maintenance; and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) procured RTV Cummins sealer for equipment maintenance. Issuing bodies include universities (University of Texas at Tyler), counties (Seminole County, Dallas County via DART), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued a broad law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities in Washington state and multiple jurisdictions nationwide, though the code-opportunity alignment here is tenuous and does not clearly reflect adhesive procurement.

Recent activity spans Texas (University of Texas at Tyler, Dallas County), Florida (Seminole County), and multi-state cooperative purchasing via Sourcewell and Washington state jurisdictions. The University of Texas at Tyler issued RFP 750-25-26-007 for interior painting and move-in-ready cleaning at Liberty Landing Apartments with proposals due April 3, 2026, specifying surface preparation, paint application, drywall patching, and tub/shower caulking as a lump-sum fixed-price contract with substantial completion targeted for July 17, 2026. Seminole County released Invitation for Bid 604483-22/LNF on March 17, 2026, for a term contract covering caulking, coatings, joint sealant, and pressure washing services on an as-needed basis across county properties, with responses due February 1, 2023 (a past deadline), structured as a three-year initial term with two one-year renewal options and a five-year warranty on installed joint sealants. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a request for RTV Cummins Sealer (Reference 2096958) on March 11, 2026, with a due date of March 13, 2026. The code shows sparse dedicated adhesive solicitation activity; most adhesive and sealant procurement occurs as line items within larger facility maintenance, renovation, or equipment-service contracts.
