UNSPSC 31201633: Fluorocarbon adhesive

Adhesive substance containing a significant percentage of a fluorocarbon elastomer

UNSPSC 31201633 Fluorocarbon adhesive is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity does not align with the code's nominal scope. The three opportunities tagged under this code involve concrete sealant services, fusion tape, and law enforcement equipment—none of which are fluorocarbon adhesive products. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) IFB 250318, posted October 7, 2026 with bids due October 14, 2026, solicits concrete sealant application services (penetrating sealer, water-based acrylic, solvent-based acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane) across twelve facilities and the OC Streetcar system for $250,000 over one year; this is a prevailing wage contract with DBE participation requirements and firm-fixed pricing per square foot. Dallas County, Texas RFQ 2100758 posted August 28, 2026 requests fusion tape (1 inch by 0.020 inch by 30 feet) with bids due October 1, 2026. A third opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment issued May 12, 2026, is unrelated to adhesive procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the tagging mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code's taxonomy placement does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for adhesive products.

The geographic spread of the three opportunities spans California (Orange County), Texas (Dallas County), and a multi-state cooperative (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state counties and entities nationwide). No focused pattern of state and local demand for fluorocarbon adhesive itself is evident in the recent record. Business development professionals should verify whether fluorocarbon adhesive procurement under this code occurs through alternative channels—such as standing agreements, master contracts, or material schedules not individually posted as competitive solicitations—or whether procurement activity has shifted to different code classifications.
