UNSPSC 31401806: Silicone water jet cut gasket

Silicone gasket produced by cutting using ultra high pressure water jets

UNSPSC 31401806 Silicone water jet cut gasket, a Commodity code, describes custom-cut gasket components used in water utility and facility infrastructure projects, though state and local governments rarely procure this code directly; recent opportunities show gasket purchasing is typically embedded within larger construction, maintenance, or equipment supply contracts rather than standalone gasket solicitations.

State and local water utilities, counties, and municipalities solicit gaskets as one line item within broader mechanical joint or plumbing supply agreements rather than as dedicated procurements. The two gasket-specific opportunities in the recent record—Palm Beach County's RFQ 680260199KD2 and 680260199KD3 (mechanical joint gaskets, posted August 31 and September 1, 2026, due September 4 and September 22)—illustrate the pattern: both were one-time purchases tied to water system infrastructure renewal, with SBE participation requirements and local preference programs applied by the county. The City of Tampa's June 2026 ITQ for 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets rounded out the active set. Broader construction and supply agreements—such as Galveston County's master supply contract for plumbing equipment (RFQ 26116, due September 17, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's annual plumbing and irrigation supplies contract (RFP 27-0007, due September 2, 2026), and Pinellas County's 36-month plumbing supplies ITQ (ITQ 260572, estimated value $120,000)—frequently include gaskets and seals as component categories but do not isolate them in the posting language. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Palm Beach County, Tampa, Pinellas County) and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Arizona. The issuing-body mix spans water utilities, county facilities management, and municipal procurement departments. Opportunities are episodic rather than continuous; the code sees activity tied to infrastructure renewal cycles and equipment replacement rather than steady demand. Vendors targeting this code should monitor water utility capital plans, facility renovation RFPs, and master supply agreements for plumbing and mechanical systems, where gaskets typically appear as line items rather than standalone solicitations.
