UNSPSC 31401704: Metal stamped gasket

Gasket produced by forming and cutting various ferrous and non ferrous metals to achieve desired profile and perimeter shapes

UNSPSC 31401704 Metal stamped gasket (Commodity) encompasses mechanical joint gaskets and related sealing products that state and local water utilities and infrastructure departments procure for pipe systems, drainage improvements, and facility maintenance. Recent opportunities show Palm Beach County, Florida soliciting one-time purchases of mechanical joint gaskets with specified material composition, pressure ratings, and dimensional tolerances for state mechanical joint systems, and the City of Tampa, Florida requesting ten 16-inch field locking gaskets made of EPDM material for use on 16-inch American ductile iron pipe. Beyond gasket-specific buys, the code also appears alongside broader plumbing and irrigation supply contracts where gaskets represent line items within larger material catalogs—Pinellas County, Galveston County, Columbus Consolidated Government, and other Florida municipalities have posted master supply agreements and annual contracts encompassing plumbing fixtures, parts, valves, and related supplies in which gaskets and seals are components of the scope. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water departments, county facilities management and procurement offices, and regional water utilities concentrated in Florida and Texas, with occasional activity from Georgia state agencies. Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Palm Beach, Pinellas, Galveston County areas, Tampa, and Columbus), Texas (Dallas, Galveston), and scattered state-level procurement in Georgia, reflecting water infrastructure maintenance and replacement cycles in rapidly growing and established municipal systems.

Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's RFQ 680260199KD (posted September 1, 2026, due September 22, 2026) for mechanical joint gasket purchase and delivery with a Small Business Enterprise participation goal under the Affirmative Procurement Initiative, requiring SBE documentation and vendor registration; the City of Tampa's request for ten 16-inch locking gaskets (posted and closed June 29, 2026) through competitive quote submission on the OpenGov platform; and earlier Palm Beach County RFQ 680260199KD2 (posted August 31, 2026, due September 4, 2026) applying local preference and small-business set-asides at five-percent thresholds. Opportunities typically cite technical specification attachments and require vendors to meet material, pressure, temperature, and dimensional tolerances. Response windows are short—commonly two to four weeks—and quotes or bids are often submitted electronically through municipal procurement portals. Gasket buys frequently roll into larger plumbing or water-supply master supply agreements with 36-month or annual terms and as-needed ordering structures; standalone gasket procurements are smaller, one-time purchases. No recent opportunities at this code level show substantial dollar values or multi-year contract structures; activity consists of tactical procurement to support ongoing operations and capital facility improvements.
