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, a Commodity code, covers specialized gasket products that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure and facility maintenance—specifically, locking gaskets, field seals, and stamped metal gaskets used on ductile iron pipe systems and related mechanical equipment. The recent activity under this code reflects a narrow, highly specialized procurement stream driven by municipal water utilities and county facilities management, with the City of Tampa, Florida, soliciting 16-inch field locking gaskets in EPDM material for water system pipe connections in June 2026 as a representative recent opportunity. Issuing bodies remain concentrated among municipal water departments and county facilities management offices, with no school districts, transit authorities, or state-level repeat procurement visible in the recent-opportunities block; the Tampa solicitation (RFQ 26P00416, due June 26, 2026) illustrates the typical scale and scope—a modest quote for standardized gasket products delivered FOB Destination with 60-day price validity and proof of insurance required. Geographic activity remains heavily concentrated in Florida and Texas water infrastructure procurement, with the City of Dallas maintaining significant ductile iron pipe sourcing activity that includes related sealing and gasket components as subordinate material categories in broader water-utility supply contracts.

The code shows minimal standalone activity; most gasket procurement appears embedded within larger water-supply, plumbing-fixture, and facilities-maintenance line-item bundles rather than as independent commodity solicitations. Opportunities tend to follow municipal utility budget cycles and are characteristically low-dollar, routine-replenishment purchases rather than capital projects. The concentration of activity in Florida and Texas reflects those states' ongoing investment in water infrastructure maintenance and ductile iron pipe replacement programs. Vendors should expect infrequent, project-triggered solicitations with short lead times and minimal negotiation; the code warrants monitoring only if your firm supplies gaskets and seals to water utilities or has preexisting relationships with municipal procurement offices in those two states.
