UNSPSC 31201627: Anaerobic adhesive

A type of adhesive that cures in the absence of air.

UNSPSC 31201627 Anaerobic adhesive (Commodity) covers industrial sealers and adhesive products that state and local governments procure for building maintenance, equipment assembly, and infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying anaerobic sealants for joint sealing, caulking, and equipment-specific applications — including RTV (room-temperature-vulcanizing) sealers for transit authority vehicles, joint sealants for facility maintenance contracts, and caulking materials for residential and commercial building projects. The issuing bodies span county governments (Seminole County, Dallas County), regional transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and universities (University of Texas at Tyler), along with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions, school districts, and public entities. The scope of actual procurement diverges from the abstract code name; rather than standalone anaerobic adhesives, state and local governments buy sealers and caulking materials primarily as line items within larger facilities maintenance, painting, or equipment repair contracts, or as commodity goods for immediate operational need.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Seminole County), Texas (Dallas County via DART and University of Texas at Tyler), and multi-state cooperative procurement through Minnesota-based Sourcewell serving participating entities across the United States and Canada. Recent representative opportunities include Seminole County's ITB 604483-22/LNF (posted March 17, 2026, due February 1, 2023) for a term contract covering caulking, coatings, joint sealant, and pressure washing services across county properties with unit pricing and a three-year base term plus two one-year renewal options; University of Texas at Tyler's RFP 750-25-26-007 (posted March 13, 2026, due April 3, 2026) for interior painting at Liberty Landing Apartments specifying zero-VOC Sherwin-Williams products and including tub/shower caulking as a line item; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's straightforward goods procurement 2096958MD (posted March 11, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for RTV Cummins sealer with a compressed two-day response window; and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment with cooperative framework structure serving thousands of governmental agencies nationwide. Activity is episodic and driven by facility maintenance cycles and equipment-specific needs rather than continuous demand.
