UNSPSC 31402003: General insulation gasket

Insulation gasket act as an insulator between dissimilar metallic flanges. Also, they are used to isolate sections of pipework (dissimilar metals) electrically in the cathodic protection systems, thus preventing the electrostatic charge flow along the pipelines as they remove the possibility of galvanic cell system creation.

UNSPSC 31402003 General insulation gasket is a Commodity code covering elastomer sealing products that state and local utilities procure for pipeline and ductile iron pipe (DIP) infrastructure. Recent solicitations show procurement of field locking gaskets made of EPDM material sized to fit specific pipe diameters, typically purchased in small quantities as replacements or repair items rather than bulk consumables. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal water departments and utility authorities that maintain distribution and transmission infrastructure. The City of Tampa Water Department is a recent buyer under the code.

The City of Tampa Water Department issued RFQ 26P00390 on June 15, 2026, requesting quotes on ten 16" field locking gaskets made of EPDM material for American DIP, with a response deadline of June 18, 2026. The quote request required electronic submission through OpenGov, FOB Destination delivery with shipping included in pricing, proof of insurance prior to award, and E-Verify employment verification under Florida law. The source provides limited geographic and issuing-body data; no other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the dataset.
