UNSPSC 31401801: Electromagnetic interference water jet cut gasket

Gasket comprised of various materials designed to prevent or reduce EMI, produced by cutting using ultra-high pressure water jets

UNSPSC 31401801 Electromagnetic interference water jet cut gasket (Commodity) appears rarely in state and local procurement records. Of the ten recent opportunities tagged under this code, only two are substantively related to gasket procurement: Palm Beach County requested mechanical joint gaskets for water systems in two separate RFQs (RFQ680260199KD3 posted September 1, 2026 and RFQ680260199KD2 posted August 31, 2026), and the City of Tampa requested ten 16-inch field locking gaskets of EPDM material for 16-inch American ductile iron pipe in a Water Department procurement (26P00416, posted June 29, 2026). The remaining eight opportunities—park renovation, police locker room renovations, residential housing rehabilitation, plumbing and irrigation supplies, ductile iron pipe supply, facility management, plumbing equipment agreements, and law enforcement equipment—are categorized under this code but do not involve gasket procurement and appear to be miscoded.

The two gasket-related solicitations are isolated, single-purchase or one-time RFQ events rather than recurring contracts. Both originate from Florida water utilities: Palm Beach County's RFQs required mechanical joint gaskets meeting specified material composition, pressure ratings, temperature tolerances, and dimensional tolerances; the County imposed Small Business Enterprise participation requirements and local preference goals. The City of Tampa's procurement was a straightforward quotation for locking gaskets with FOB Destination delivery and 60-day price validity. No recent activity appears outside Florida's water infrastructure sector, no standing master supply agreements or blanket orders are evident in the source, and no other issuing bodies—counties, municipalities, transit authorities, or state departments—have posted gasket procurements under this code in the recent window. The code shows minimal, episodic procurement activity limited to water utility repairs and maintenance rather than broader state and local demand.
