UNSPSC 31402002: General gasket

In piping, a Gasket is sealing material placed between connecting flanges to create a static seal. This will maintain the leakage-proof sealing in all operating conditions. Different types of gaskets are used to achieve leakproof sealing between the pipe flanges.

UNSPSC 31402002 General gasket, a Commodity code, covers sealing components that state and local water utilities and infrastructure departments procure for pipeline and ductile iron pipe assembly. The City of Tampa's recent RFQ for 16" field locking gaskets made of EPDM material for American DIP demonstrates the concrete work being bought under this code — elastomer seals specified for water distribution systems and similar utility applications where material compatibility, pressure rating, and dimensional precision drive procurement. State and local water departments, public works agencies, and utilities form the primary issuing body base for general gasket procurement; these solicitations reflect routine maintenance and system replacement cycles rather than one-off or emergency demand.

Recent activity is sparse. The City of Tampa posted RFQ 26P00390 on June 15, 2026, seeking ten 16" locking gaskets with a response deadline of June 18, 2026 — a compressed three-day window typical of quote-based procurement for catalog items with established specifications. No other recent opportunities under this Commodity code appear in the record, suggesting light activity or narrow geographic and issuing-body concentration. Florida shows documented demand; broader geographic or issuing-body patterns are not evident from available recent solicitation data.
