UNSPSC 31401708: Stamped gasket kit

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

UNSPSC 31401708 Stamped gasket kit (Commodity) captures supplies consumed in municipal water and wastewater operations, where state and local governments procure sealing components for pipe assemblies and ancillary infrastructure. Recent activity shows concrete sourcing of field locking gaskets for ductile iron pipe systems—the City of Tampa, Florida issued RFQ 26P00416 in June 2026 for ten 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets for potable water service, due June 26, 2026. The code sits at the bottom tier of UNSPSC taxonomy and reflects a narrow commodity line rather than a broader product family; the mismatch between the code's nominal name and recent procurement activity is notable. Most recent opportunities posted under this code do not actually involve stamped gasket kits at all—the source includes plumbing supplies catalogs (Pinellas County, Galveston County, Bernalillo County, Donna ISD, Sarasota County Schools), fixture installation and remodel work (Rusk County jail plumbing, Tybee Island restrooms), and on-call plumbing service contracts (DeKalb County Schools, City of Acworth, Gwinnett County Schools)—none of which represent discrete gasket kit procurements. The single relevant opportunity tied to the code's actual commodity scope is the Tampa locking gaskets RFQ.

The Tampa opportunity represents the only clear recent signal for gasket procurement under this code. Geographic activity is limited; only Florida shows a documented match between the code and actual gasket-kit sourcing. Water utilities and wastewater departments drive demand for sealing components, but the code shows minimal transaction volume in state and local markets over the recent period covered by the source. Vendors serving this space should monitor municipal water authority RFQs and infrastructure maintenance schedules, particularly in jurisdictions with aging ductile iron pipe networks requiring routine gasket replacement. The broader pattern in the source suggests that gasket procurement may fall under higher-level UNSPSC families addressing plumbing supplies generally (e.g., 31401600 or 31401700 ranges) rather than this specific commodity designation, or that municipalities source gaskets as line items within larger plumbing supplies contracts rather than as standalone purchases.
