UNSPSC 31411900: Molded seals

Seals produced from various materials by using various molding processes to achieve desired dimensions and features

UNSPSC 31411900 Molded seals is a Class code encompassing elastomeric and rubber sealing components that state and local governments procure primarily for infrastructure maintenance, fleet operations, and equipment repair. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, counties, and school districts purchasing compression seals, silicone-coated foam seals, gland seals, and supporting sealant materials—typically measured in linear feet and supplied in bulk to multiple locations. The Maine Department of Transportation's May 2026 RFQ for bridge joint seals and related materials exemplifies the scope: 76 line items spanning compression seals in 23 sizes (ranging 1/2" to 6" width), pre-compressed foam seals, non-brand-specific gland seals, and accessories such as lubricant adhesive, primer, backer rod, and splice adhesive, with delivery required across five Maine regions. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments and county purchasing offices; school districts and transit authorities appear in the broader opportunity set but do not currently dominate UNSPSC 31411900 solicitations specifically.

Maine and other northeastern states show the most recent activity under this code. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services issued the RFQ 17A 260427-275 on May 18, 2026 with a June 1, 2026 response deadline, establishing a Master Agreement for bridge seals with an initial one-year contract period (June 15, 2026 through June 30, 2027) and four optional one-year extensions. Pricing is required on an FOB Destination basis including freight and delivery, with all products to arrive in manufacturer's original, intact, labeled containers; bidders must provide manufacturer literature, equivalency documentation for alternative products, warranty information, and a Responsible Bidder Form. The State anticipates one award to the lowest qualified bidder, and municipal and school entities in Maine may access the resulting contract if the bidder consents. No set-aside or small-business restrictions are identified in the RFQ. Geographic activity beyond Maine is not well represented in the recent opportunity record.
