UNSPSC 31401700: Stamped gaskets

Gaskets produced by forming and cutting various materials to achieve desired profile and perimeter shapes

UNSPSC 31401700 Stamped gaskets, Class, represents mechanical joint gaskets and related sealing products that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure maintenance and repair. Recent solicitations show actual buying focused on mechanical joint gaskets for water utility systems, with one procurement (Palm Beach County, Florida, RFQ680260199KD2, due September 4, 2026) requesting a one-time purchase of mechanical joint gaskets with specified material composition, pressure ratings, and dimensional tolerances; another (City of Tampa, Florida, RFQ 26P00416, due June 26, 2026) sought ten 16-inch field locking gaskets made of EPDM material for ductile iron pipe used by the Water Department. The issuing-body mix is narrow and specialized: water utilities departments and county commissioners' procurement offices dominate the recent activity, with no school districts, transit authorities, or general municipal facilities soliciting under this code in the opportunities block.

Recent geographic activity centers on Florida, where Palm Beach County and the City of Tampa posted gasket procurements in August and June 2026. The code shows limited overall volume—only two directly relevant opportunities appear in the recent block, both Florida-based water-sector purchases. The Palm Beach County solicitation imposed Small Business Enterprise participation requirements and local preference scoring (5 percent preference to certified small businesses and businesses with permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades), and required Schedules 1, 2, and 2(a) documenting all subcontractor participation by SBE status. Pricing must remain firm for 90 days from submission, and delivery was required during normal County working hours. The Tampa procurement required FOB Destination delivery and e-submission through the OpenGov platform. This code shows sparse recent state and local activity overall; the opportunities that do post are highly technical, specifications-driven procurements with tight delivery windows and compliance-intensive requirements typical of water utility operations.
