UNSPSC 31401903: Solvent liquid gasket

Gasket formed by the introduction of solvent based materials in liquid or semi liquid form between the mating surfaces

UNSPSC 31401903 Solvent liquid gasket (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily to classify gaskets and sealing components for water infrastructure, though recent solicitations show significant scope drift—the code tags gaskets, plumbing supplies, and facility maintenance services in equal measure. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include city water departments (Tampa), county facilities management offices (Pinellas County, Bernalillo County, Galveston County), school districts (Donna ISD, DeKalb County Schools, Sarasota County Schools), and county transit or aviation authorities (Georgia Department of Aviation, Gwinnett County Public Schools). Water utilities and facilities management departments are the primary repeat buyers; Pinellas County and Bernalillo County each appear multiple times in recent months seeking plumbing supplies on similar terms. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Pinellas County, Sarasota County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Acworth), and Texas (Dallas, Galveston County, Donna ISD, Clewiston), with secondary activity in New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Washington state through cooperative purchasing frameworks like Sourcewell.

The representative recent opportunity most directly aligned with the Commodity code is the City of Tampa's solicitation 26P00416 (posted June 29, 2026, due June 26, 2026)—an RFQ for ten 16-inch field locking gaskets in EPDM material for ductile iron pipe serving the Water Department, with FOB Destination delivery and a 60-day price validity window. Broader plumbing and water supply opportunities tagged under or adjacent to this code include Pinellas County's ITQ 260572 (due May 28, 2026) for a 36-month, $120,000 plumbing supplies catalog agreement with tiered SBE preferences; Galveston County's RFQ 26-089 (due April 30, 2026) for a one-year Master Supply Agreement across 19 plumbing manufacturer categories; and the City of Dallas's five-year ID/IQ contract BG2600030409 (due June 12, 2026) for ductile iron pipe supply to the Water Utilities department. The code's practical scope in procurement diverges from its nominal title—solicitations labeled under this code actually encompass broad plumbing fixture and supply catalogs, water infrastructure materials, and facility maintenance services, suggesting that state and local procurement offices use the Commodity code as a catch-all for water-related sealing and piping products rather than for solvent liquid gaskets specifically.
