UNSPSC 22110102: Chain stoppers

The chain stopper guides the chain during anchoring maneuvers. During anchoring, the chain stopper withstands the forces from the anchor, so the anchor winch is protected.

UNSPSC 22110102 Chain stoppers is a Commodity code that covers industrial chain products and securing hardware purchased by state and local governments for operational and maintenance use across multiple departments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specialized chain inventory in various grades and specifications — from transport-grade and proof-coil chains to alloy steel and galvanized variants — as well as related lifting and securing hardware including hooks, shackles, and tie-down straps. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments acting on behalf of both municipal and county divisions, reflecting the multi-departmental nature of chain and hardware demand. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting chain inventory and related hardware items in separate procurements within a four-month window.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Washington state. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ (26P00328) posted May 12, 2026, with a June 15, 2026 response deadline, seeking six line items of specialized chain products including 800 feet of 3/8-inch transport-grade chain and multiple proof-coil variants in galvanized and zinc finishes, with delivery required within five business days of order and a one-year contract term. The same purchasing office issued RFQ 26-P-00214, posted March 18, 2026 with an April 15, 2026 deadline, for 20 line items of hooks, shackles, and lifting hardware across grades 40, 70, and 80. A separate RFP (061626) issued by Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, on behalf of multiple Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, sought law enforcement equipment proposals due June 16, 2026, though that solicitation's relevance to chain stoppers as typically defined is unclear. Quotes for Tampa procurements must be submitted electronically through OpenGov, with pricing on a firm, fixed, FOB-destination basis including all freight, and the city reserves the right to award by line item or aggregate total.
