UNSPSC 31401800: Water jet cut gaskets

Gaskets produced by using high pressure fluid streams to cut various materials to desired shapes

UNSPSC 31401800 Water jet cut gaskets, a Class code, covers gasket materials and sealing components that state and local governments procure for water distribution infrastructure, pipeline maintenance, and facility plumbing systems. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show heavy overlap with broader plumbing supplies and materials procurement—water utilities, county facilities departments, and school districts are sourcing gaskets, seals, and related components as part of larger plumbing supply contracts and discrete pipe-fitting solicitations. The City of Tampa, Florida's June 2026 RFQ for 16-inch field locking gaskets (EPDM material for ductile iron pipe) exemplifies the code's core application; these components support water main operations and routine maintenance across municipal water systems. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state water agencies, county facilities management, cities with independent water departments, and school districts; Tampa, Pinellas County, Dallas, Bernalillo County, and Galveston County appear repeatedly in recent plumbing and water infrastructure procurement, often bundling gaskets and seals within larger supply agreements alongside fixtures, valves, fittings, and pipe.

Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, with scattered solicitations in Wisconsin and Washington. Beyond Tampa's discrete gasket RFQ, most recent opportunities reflect indirect sourcing: the City of Dallas's May 2026 five-year ID/IQ for ductile iron pipe to the Water Utilities department (BG2600030409, bids due June 12), Bernalillo County's February 2026 plumbing supplies price agreement across six bid lots including fixtures and tools (RFB 36-26-MT and its re-bid RFB 41-26-MT, due March 4), and Galveston County's March 2026 RFQ for plumbing equipment and supplies spanning 19 manufacturer categories including valves and fittings (26-089, due April 30). The code's activity is modest relative to broader plumbing procurement; gaskets and seals are typically sourced as line items within master supply agreements rather than as standalone solicitations, limiting discrete contracting opportunities under the code's specific classification.
