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 is a Commodity code that names a specific product — a sealing compound applied to mechanical pipe joints — but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance. Of nine recent solicitations, only two directly address gaskets at all: Palm Beach County issued two RFQs (posted September 1 and August 31, 2026) for mechanical joint gaskets for one-time purchase and delivery, and the City of Tampa issued a quote request (posted June 29, 2026) for ten 16-inch EPDM locking gaskets for ductile iron pipe used by the Water Department. The remaining seven opportunities—design-build park renovation in Georgia, locker room renovation in Connecticut, residential housing rehabilitation in Arizona, plumbing and irrigation supply contracts in Texas and Georgia, facility maintenance in Georgia, and law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing in Washington—carry the code tag but involve construction, renovation, and facilities work where gaskets are incidental materials, not primary procurement targets. The issuing bodies in the relevant opportunities span municipal water utilities and county procurement departments, with geographic activity concentrated in Florida and Texas.

The two directly relevant recent opportunities show commodity-level purchasing by cities and counties managing water infrastructure and municipal facilities. Palm Beach County sought mechanical joint gaskets under a small-business enterprise preference program and required SBE participation schedules; the solicitations imposed a 90-day price hold and required delivery during normal working hours. The City of Tampa requested quotes for 16-inch field locking gaskets with FOB Destination pricing, a 60-day price hold, and electronic submission through OpenGov. Neither opportunity identifies contract volume, incumbent vendors, or renewal terms in the posted summaries. The code's recent activity is sparse and episodic, suggesting water utility maintenance and capital renewal drive the bulk of solicitation volume rather than sustained contracting relationships or standing supply agreements. Firms pursuing this code should monitor municipal water departments and county utility operations in Florida, Texas, and Georgia for repeat opportunities tied to aging infrastructure replacement and maintenance cycles.
