UNSPSC 31401600: Die cut gaskets

Flat gaskets produced by cutting various sheet materials using punches and dies to achieve desired perimeter shapes

UNSPSC 31401600 Die cut gaskets, a Class code, covers sealing and gasket components that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, vehicle repair, and equipment upkeep. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local bodies are buying automotive and truck parts—including gaskets, seals, filters, brake components, and related consumables—as part of broader vehicle maintenance and parts-supply agreements. Issuing bodies include counties (Brevard County, Collier County, Rockland County), cities (Gainesville, Atlanta), school districts (Sarasota County Schools), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell. The scope spans both routine fleet maintenance contracts and specialized heavy-duty vehicle parts procurement, with vendors required to stock new OEM and aftermarket parts, meet rapid delivery windows (often 24–72 hours), and integrate with customer inventory management systems where applicable. Most contracts are one-year terms with optional renewals, and pricing is structured as discounts off manufacturer list price, cost-plus markup, or unit pricing per vehicle class or part category.

The recent opportunity mix reflects activity concentrated in Florida (Brevard County, Collier County, Sarasota County, Gainesville) and Georgia (Atlanta), with additional multi-state and national cooperative activity through Sourcewell. Representative recent solicitations include the School Board of Sarasota County's bid for automotive and light truck repair parts (Bid #26-0124, due February 12, 2026), which sought OEM and in-house brand parts across 19 manufacturers with 48-hour delivery for stock orders; Brevard County's just-in-time inventory management services for fleet parts (ITB, bid opening February 25, 2026), which required on-site parts-room staffing, daily delivery, and integration with the County's iMaint system against a budget of approximately $730,000 annually; and the City of Gainesville's heavy-duty bus and truck brakes and miscellaneous parts procurement (ITB RTSX270003DS, due May 12, 2026), structured across eight lots with a 14-day maximum delivery guarantee. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for aftermarket vehicle parts and supplies resulted in a $7.5 million award to Genuine Parts Company (NAPA Auto Parts) through the State of Illinois CPO (contract term May 2026–January 2029), with 7 percent BEP utilization mandated.
