UNSPSC 31401702: Plastic stamped gasket

Gasket produced by forming and cutting various plastics to achieve desired profile and perimeter shapes

UNSPSC 31401702 Plastic stamped gasket is a Commodity code that covers mechanical joint gaskets and related sealing components used in municipal water systems, utility infrastructure, and facility maintenance operations. State and local governments procure these gaskets as replacement and maintenance materials for mechanical joint pipe systems, typically in support of water utility departments and equipment rehabilitation programs. The recent solicitation activity shows primarily one-time and annual supply purchases rather than design or installation services, with gaskets sourced through straightforward RFQ and quotation processes. Issuing bodies include county utility departments and municipal water authorities, with occasional procurement through construction projects that integrate gasket components into larger facility or infrastructure work.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with Palm Beach County issuing two separate gasket solicitations (RFQ680260199KD2 and RFQ680260199KD3) in August and September 2026 for mechanical joint gaskets with Small Business Enterprise participation requirements and local preference ordinances. The City of Tampa, Florida solicited ten 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets for its Water Department (RFP 26P00416) in June 2026. Outside Florida, gasket procurement appears limited in the recent record; the broader opportunities listed—including park renovation, police locker room renovation, residential housing rehabilitation, and plumbing supply agreements—involve gaskets or sealing components only as minor line items within construction, renovation, or general facility maintenance scopes rather than as primary procurement targets. Palm Beach County's gasket solicitations required SBE documentation and compliance with Schedules 1, 2, and 2(a), signaling that local preference and small-business-participation goals shape the terms of award in that jurisdiction.
