UNSPSC 31411904: Rubber on metal or plastic molded seal

A type of seal consisting of rubber molded onto a rigid plastic or metal substrate used to prevent flow of a liquid or gas from one area to another and or to provide physical features

UNSPSC 31411904 Rubber on metal or plastic molded seal is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure elastomeric sealing components for infrastructure and fleet maintenance. Recent solicitations show this code capturing bridge joint seals, automotive gaskets, and equipment-specific molded seals across multiple public-sector asset classes. The Maine Department of Transportation's RFQ 17A26042700000000000275, issued May 18, 2026, exemplifies the infrastructure application—establishing a master agreement for 76 line items of compression seals, silicone-coated foam seals, gland seals, and supporting sealant materials for nine statewide bridge locations, with quotations due June 1, 2026. School districts and county fleet operations also source under this code; the School Board of Sarasota County's Bid #26-0124 (posted January 23, 2026, due February 12, 2026) procures automotive and light truck repair parts including seals and gaskets through OEM manufacturers such as Motorcraft, Mopar, and AC Delco at firm percentage discounts off list price. Issuing bodies span state departments, school districts, and county fleet services, with Maine DOT and Sarasota County Schools appearing in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in the Northeast and Southeast. Maine DOT (responding state department) and the School Board of Sarasota County represent the geographic footprint in available solicitations. The Maine RFQ establishes a master agreement with five regional delivery points and a five-year term through June 2031, while the Sarasota County procurement runs one year with two optional renewals and delivery to a single transportation facility. Both solicitations emphasize manufacturer specifications, equivalency documentation, warranty terms, and sealed-bid submission via electronic portals—Maine's Advantage Vendor Self Service and Sarasota County's VendorLink. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in either opportunity. The recent-opportunity block contains two additional solicitations (Williamson County purchasing relocation notice and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP) that do not align with the code's nominal scope and carry no relevant signal for this commodity.
