UNSPSC 31201712: Silicone sealant

A material containing silicone used to seal surfaces and joints in a variety of applications

UNSPSC 31201712 Silicone sealant (Commodity) covers joint sealants, caulking compounds, and related sealing materials that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, construction, and renovation work. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied across building maintenance contracts, residential housing rehabilitation, and transportation equipment servicing. Issuing bodies span county governments, higher education institutions, and regional transit authorities. Seminole County in Florida has posted a term contract for caulking, coatings, joint sealant, and pressure washing services structured as an initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals, evaluated on contractor ability, character, quality of prior performance, and references. The University of Texas at Tyler's Liberty Landing Apartments painting and renovation project identifies sealants as a subcontracting opportunity alongside drywall, trim carpentry, and cleaning services. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has procured RTV Cummins Sealer for equipment maintenance.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Washington. Seminole County (Florida) issued IFB #604483-22/LNF with a response deadline of February 1, 2023, requiring contractors to bid on all four service categories (caulking, coatings, joint sealants, pressure washing) to be considered, with unit pricing and a five-year warranty for installed sealants. The University of Texas at Tyler issued RFP #750-25-26-007 (due April 3, 2026) for Liberty Landing Apartments interior renovation specifying tub/shower caulking as a line-item service with unit pricing for contingent work. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment through a multi-state participating addendum framework covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington along with jurisdictions nationwide. DART posted a short-window IFB on March 11, 2026 (due March 13, 2026) for specific RTV Cummins Sealer inventory. The code shows active use in maintenance-focused term contracts and capital projects but remains a subordinate commodity within broader construction and facility-services solicitations rather than a primary procurement line item.
