UNSPSC 31201701: Thread sealant

UNSPSC 31201701 Thread sealant is a Commodity code that encompasses pipe thread-sealing products, but the recent state and local opportunities under this code show minimal direct relevance to thread sealant procurement itself. Of the four recent opportunities posted, only one—the City of Augusta, Georgia's ITB 27-116 for various pipe, coupling, and end sections (due September 29, 2026)—involves piping infrastructure where thread sealants might be ancillary materials; the three remaining opportunities focus on bridge replacement, outfall pipe replacement, and stormwater rehabilitation planning, none of which explicitly name thread sealant as a line item. The Augusta bid, posted September 10, 2026, seeks HDPE pipes, couplings, bends, ells, and related drainage components on an as-needed basis under a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewals, with local-bidder preferences for awards under $100,000 and MBE/WBE requirements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipalities and counties in Georgia and Florida, though the opportunities do not demonstrate thread sealant as a primary focus area.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with the City of Palm Bay and Orange County, Florida posting two major infrastructure projects (the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement ITB due July 14, 2026, with a lump-sum contract structure and five-percent bid security required, and an RFI for stormwater pipe rehabilitation along Malabar Road posted May 12, 2026), and the City of Augusta, Georgia issuing the annual pipe-and-coupling ITB noted above. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) is unrelated to thread sealant and appears to be a misfiled or mistagged opportunity. The code shows no substantial thread sealant procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations; bidders should verify scope alignment before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under 31201701.
