UNSPSC 31401904: Anaerobic liquid gasket

Gasket formed by the introduction of anaerobic materials that cure in the absence or reduced presence of oxygen, in liquid or semi liquid form between the mating surfaces

UNSPSC 31401904 Anaerobic liquid gasket (Commodity) shows minimal recent procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily acquiring mechanical joint gaskets for water utility infrastructure — including sealed joint gaskets for ductile iron pipe systems — rather than liquid anaerobic sealants or thread-locking compounds. Recent opportunities sourced through this code include single-purchase and annual supply agreements for mechanical joint gaskets, locking gaskets for municipal water systems, and general plumbing supply contracts that may incidentally include gasket materials. The issuing bodies are typically county water utilities, municipal water departments, and county procurement offices establishing master supply agreements or one-time purchases for inventory and maintenance operations.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with secondary representation from Texas and Arizona. Palm Beach County, Florida solicited mechanical joint gaskets twice in the past two months (RFQ680260199KD3 due September 22, 2026, and RFQ680260199KD2 due September 4, 2026, both structured as single purchases with SBE participation requirements and local preference provisions). The City of Tampa, Florida solicited 16-inch locking gaskets (EPDM, for ductile iron pipe) via RFQ on June 29, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida established a 36-month plumbing supplies contract (Hajoca Corporation / Hughes Supply, estimated $120,000 total value, effective October 1, 2026) that encompasses gasket materials alongside broader plumbing inventories. The City of Dallas issued a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe (BG2600030409, due June 12, 2026) which may include associated gasket procurement. Beyond these direct gasket solicitations, state and local opportunities tagged to this code frequently diverge into general plumbing, irrigation, or facility maintenance work where gaskets are incidental to the primary scope — such as the Waterford Police Department locker room renovation (IFB26011, due October 15, 2026) or the Port Wentworth Mobley Park design-build project (PE66275NONST2027000000009, due November 13, 2026). The code does not show sustained procurement volume sufficient to support specialization; vendors should treat opportunities as transactional and scattered rather than a primary market segment.
