UNSPSC 31201706: Sealing wax

UNSPSC 31201706 Sealing wax (Commodity) encompasses concrete sealant services and related sealing products that state and local governments procure for facility and infrastructure maintenance. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are purchasing concrete sealants in multiple formulations — penetrating sealers, water-based and solvent-based acrylics, and epoxy or polyurethane products — along with surface preparation labor (cleaning, crack filling, patching) and application services via spray, roller, or brush methods. Issuing bodies include transportation authorities and county purchasing offices. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is a repeat buyer, soliciting concrete sealant services for maintenance of transit facilities, parking areas, and streetcar infrastructure across multiple Orange County municipalities.

Activity under this code appears limited in recent months. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250318 on October 7, 2026 for concrete sealant services at OCTA-owned facilities throughout Orange County, California, with bids due October 14, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.; the estimated contract value is $250,000 for a one-year term, with prevailing wage and federal DOT DBE participation requirements in place. Bidders must hold a valid California Contractor's License with C-8, C-61, or D-06 classification and three years of minimum experience. A secondary opportunity from Dallas County, Texas (reference 2100758, due October 1, 2026) appears misclassified under this code — it solicited fusion tape by specification rather than sealing wax or concrete sealant services. Geographic concentration in recent activity centers on California and Texas, with secondary activity elsewhere. The pre-bid conference for the Orange County solicitation was held September 30, 2026 via Microsoft Teams.
