UNSPSC 31401807: Water jet cut gasket kit

Gasket kit produced by cutting using ultra high pressure water jets

UNSPSC 31401807 Water jet cut gasket kit is a Commodity code that describes mechanical joint gaskets for water infrastructure, though the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with water jet cutting applications. State and local governments buying under this code primarily source standard mechanical joint gaskets—elastomer seals designed for ductile iron pipe and related water-system connections—rather than custom water jet-cut components. The issuing bodies include county water utilities (Palm Beach County, Marion County), city water departments (Tampa, Dallas), and county infrastructure maintenance operations across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. Procurement vehicles range from one-time RFQs and ITQs for immediate replacement stock to multi-year master supply agreements and cooperative purchasing frameworks established through arrangements such as Sourcewell.

Recent activity centers on Palm Beach County's two mechanical joint gasket RFQs posted in late August and early September 2026 (RFQ680260199KD2 and RFQ680260199KD3, both with SBE participation requirements), the City of Tampa's June 2026 quote request for ten 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets for American ductile iron pipe, and broader supply-agreement procurements including Galveston County's plumbing and water-system material MSA, Pinellas County's 36-month plumbing-supply contract (estimated value $120,000), and the City of Dallas's five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe. Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida and the Southeast, with activity also in Texas and Arizona. The code shows steady but modest purchasing volume driven by routine water-utility maintenance and capital replacement cycles rather than large-scale construction projects.
