UNSPSC 31201622: Multi purpose adhesive

A type of multi-purpose glue that can be used to bind many different types of materials together. Constituent materials vary.

UNSPSC 31201622 Multi purpose adhesive is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure adhesives, sealants, and related coating products for facility maintenance, construction, and equipment servicing. Recent state and local solicitations show the code being used for interior painting projects requiring drywall patching, caulking, joint sealant application, and pressure washing across residential and institutional properties, as well as for procurement of specialized industrial sealers for transit equipment. Issuing bodies include universities, county governments, and transit authorities. The University of Texas at Tyler and Seminole County have each posted work within the past three months that explicitly calls for caulking, joint sealant installation, and associated adhesive-based products as part of broader facility maintenance and construction contracts. The code also captures narrower single-product procurements, such as Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's March 2026 purchase of RTV Cummins Sealer for equipment servicing.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, and Washington state, with the largest project volumes in Texas. Representative opportunities include the University of Texas at Tyler's RFP for interior painting and drywall repair at Liberty Landing Apartments (posted March 13, 2026, due April 3, 2026), which specifies surface preparation, patching, caulking, and finishing work with a mandatory pre-submittal conference on March 18, 2026; Seminole County's Invitation for Bid for term caulking, coatings, joint sealant, and pressure washing services (IFB #604483-22/LNF, posted March 17, 2026); and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's purchase order for RTV Cummins Sealer (posted March 11, 2026, due March 13, 2026). A cooperative purchasing initiative through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, though the specific adhesive and sealant components within that broader solicitation are not detailed in available documentation.
