UNSPSC 31411502: Polytetrafluoroethylene lathe cut seal

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

UNSPSC 31411502 Polytetrafluoroethylene lathe cut seal is a Commodity code covering specialized sealing products used in industrial and infrastructure maintenance. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on bridge joint seals, pump component repairs, and related elastomer-based closure products. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments and municipal utilities purchasing seals as routine maintenance stock or as part of repair and replacement contracts for critical infrastructure. The Maine Department of Transportation and the City of Port Orange, Florida represent the two active sectors — statewide transportation networks requiring standardized seal inventories and municipal utility operations replacing equipment components through sole-source authorized-dealer arrangements.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Maine and Florida. The Maine Department of Transportation issued an RFQ (17A 260427-275) with a response deadline of June 1, 2026, to establish a Master Agreement for bridge joint seals and related materials across 76 line items, including compression seals, silicone-coated foam seals, and supporting adhesives and lubricants, with delivery to nine MaineDOT locations across five regions and an initial contract term through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions through 2031. The City of Port Orange, Florida published a Notice of Intent to Award (SS2620CW) on September 16, 2026, seeking to verify whether NOV Chemineer Moyno pump products and repair services are available from sources other than Carl Eric Johnson, Inc., with an estimated annual contract value of $500,000; responses were due September 16, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the Port Orange opportunity suggests that city coded a pump repair contract under a seal commodity classification — the underlying procurement involves component repair and parts supply rather than polytetrafluoroethylene seal products in isolation.
