UNSPSC 31411704: V ring seal

Seal mounted on shafts allowing their thin, tapered V flanges to seal against a surface at right angles to the shaft

UNSPSC 31411704 V ring seal is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure elastomeric sealing components for infrastructure, fleet, and equipment maintenance. Recent solicitations show that state departments, counties, and municipalities buy V-ring seals and related joint-sealing materials—compression seals, silicone-coated foam seals, gland seals, and supporting materials such as lubricants, sealants, primers, and backer rod—primarily for bridge joint applications, heavy equipment repair, and fleet maintenance. The Maine Department of Transportation exemplifies this scope: its May 2026 RFQ 17A26042700000000000275 sought compression and foam seals in 23 sizes ranging from 1/2" to 6" width, measured in linear feet and delivered to nine regional MaineDOT locations across Maine. School districts and county fleet departments also source automotive repair parts through this code, though recent activity shows limited narrow focus on V-ring seals specifically—most fleet-related procurement opportunities target broader repair-parts agreements rather than sealing components as a primary line item.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Northeast and Southeast. The Maine DOT RFQ (response due June 1, 2026) represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity under this code. The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued Bid #26-0124 in January 2026 for automotive and light truck repair parts with a February 12, 2026 deadline, though that solicitation encompasses broad repair inventory rather than sealing products as a distinct category. Geographic spread is limited in the recent-opportunities block: Maine represents the only state with a solicitation explicitly centered on bridge joint seals and related materials. No repeat buyers across multiple solicitations or standout regional concentration patterns emerge from the available records. The code shows sparse recent activity overall, with the Maine DOT RFQ standing as the most concrete example of state procurement under this commodity code.
