UNSPSC 31401707: Bolted stamped gasket

Gasket produced by forming and cutting various metals to achieve desired profile and perimeter shapes, which are then secured to or between sealing surfaces by bolts and nuts

UNSPSC 31401707 Bolted stamped gasket (Commodity) covers mechanical joint gaskets and related sealing components that state and local water utilities, county facilities, and municipal departments procure for pipeline systems, building infrastructure, and maintenance operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a narrow but concrete scope: mechanical joint gaskets specified by material (EPDM, rubber compounds), pressure rating, temperature tolerance, and dimensional fit for ductile iron pipe systems and mechanical joint applications. Palm Beach County's September 2026 RFQ for mechanical joint gasket purchase and delivery and the City of Tampa's June 2026 quote request for 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets exemplify the work being bought—single or limited-quantity procurements of gaskets meeting technical specifications for water department and utility infrastructure use. The issuing bodies are primarily county departments (Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Pinellas County) and municipal water utilities (City of Tampa Water Department), with occasional participation from consolidated government purchasing offices. Gasket procurements appear episodic rather than continuous, triggered by maintenance schedules, capital projects, or system repairs.

Florida dominates the recent activity under this code, with three opportunities posted in 2026 (Palm Beach County RFQs in August and September, City of Tampa in June). Texas shows secondary activity through the City of Dallas's concurrent procurement of ductile iron pipe and associated materials for water utilities. Most opportunities are RFQ or ITQ structures with short response windows (typically 10–21 days) and firm pricing requirements. Palm Beach County's solicitations explicitly impose Small Business Enterprise participation schedules and documentation (Schedules 1, 2, 2(a), and 4) and reference Amendment #1 modifications to pricing and delivery. The City of Tampa requires all-in freight pricing on an FOB Destination basis and maintains quote validity for a minimum 60 days. These procurements typically award to a single vendor on a one-time or annual supply basis and often nest within larger plumbing and irrigation supply contracts (Columbus Consolidated Government's annual RFP for plumbing and irrigation supplies, Galveston County's Master Supply Agreement for plumbing equipment) where gaskets are bundled with related infrastructure materials rather than procured in isolation.
