UNSPSC 31411501: Rubber lathe cut seal

A type of seal made of rubber produced by turning to achieve desired inner and outer diameters and thicknesses

UNSPSC 31411501 Rubber lathe cut seal is a Commodity code covering elastomeric sealing products—compression seals, foam seals, and gland seals—that state and local transportation and water-utility agencies procure for bridge joint applications, pump repair, and infrastructure maintenance. State departments of transportation, cities, and counties issue RFQs and notices of intent under this code to source seal inventory, repair parts, and related materials (lubricants, adhesives, backer rod, sealant) for recurring maintenance contracts. Sole-source and competitive procurement notices show that agencies often target specific manufacturer-authorized product lines when performance history or equipment compatibility drives the requirement; however, state procurement offices also solicit competitive quotations for multi-size seal assortments and fungible materials where equivalency documentation and alternative products are acceptable.

Recent activity shows limited depth and geographic scatter. The Maine Department of Transportation issued an RFQ (RFQ 17A 260427-275, due June 1, 2026) to establish a master agreement for 76 line items of bridge joint seals and related materials across five regions in Maine, with quarterly delivery to nine MDOT locations and contract renewal optionality through June 2031. The City of Port Orange, Florida published a notice of intent to award a sole-source procurement (SS2620CW, due September 16, 2026) for NOV Chemineer Moyno pump repair products and services—a $500,000 annual contract—solely to Carl Eric Johnson, Inc., the authorized regional dealer in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, though the city invited competing vendor demonstrations of capability under Florida sole-source statute. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment cast a wide net across participating entities in Washington state and nationally but is tangential to rubber seal commodities. Recent solicitation volume under the code is low and concentrated in Maine and Florida; geographic spread and repeat-buyer patterns are not yet established in the current cycle.
