UNSPSC 31201626: Pressure sensitive adhesive PSA

A type of adhesive that forms a bond through the application of light pressure to the material to be bonded.

UNSPSC 31201626 Pressure sensitive adhesive PSA is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty adhesive products and sealant materials used in transportation infrastructure, facility maintenance, and law enforcement applications across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to concrete sealant services, fusion tape for infrastructure repair, and law enforcement equipment procurement — a spread indicating the code captures both the adhesive materials themselves and the services involving their application. State and local buyers under this code include transit authorities, county transportation and maintenance agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdiction consortia. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) represents a concrete use case: OCTA IFB 250318, posted October 7, 2026 with bids due October 14, 2026, solicits concrete sealant services across twelve facilities and OC Streetcar platforms, with five line items priced separately (penetrating sealer, water-based acrylic sealer, solvent-based acrylic sealer, epoxy/polyurethane sealer, and surface preparation), a one-year estimated contract value of $250,000, and prevailing wage and DBE requirements under federal DOT programs.

Activity spans California, Texas, and multi-state cooperative frameworks. Dallas County, Texas posted IFB 2100758 on August 28, 2026 for fusion tape (1 inch by 0.020 inch by 30 feet), with bids due October 1, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, serving participating entities across Washington state and numerous public agencies nationwide through its cooperative purchasing framework. The code shows limited recent activity focused on concrete sealing and tape materials; the law enforcement equipment opportunity appears tangentially related and may reflect tagging variance across jurisdictions.
