UNSPSC 22110108: Drag anchors

An object dragged in the water behind a ship or floating structure in order to keep it aligned with a predefined direction or position.

UNSPSC 22110108 Drag anchors, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with sourced opportunities showing significant misalignment between the code label and the actual goods being solicited. Recent notices tagged to this code instead capture electrical hardware, fasteners, and transit components—lugs, bolts, clamps, insulators, cables, ground rods, and related electrical materials; frangible utility-pole bases; train control grade crossing spare parts; U-bolt hardware; and electrical plugs. The issuing bodies are municipal electric utilities and transit authorities, specifically Lubbock Power & Light (a city utility in Texas) and Charlotte Area Transit System and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority. The code shows no activity from state departments, county governments, or school districts in the recent-opportunities block.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Texas, with Lubbock Power & Light posting two competitive quote requests in September and August 2026 (solicitations 26-7017-ELD and 26-7013-ELD, both closed or near-closed with response dates in early to mid-September). Charlotte Area Transit System posted a bid request in August 2026 (solicitation 26920272053, due September 14, 2026) for train control grade crossing spare parts with minimal scope detail in the source. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicited 125V electrical plugs in July 2026 (commodity 2100277, due July 31, 2026). The code's actual relevance to drag anchors remains unclear given the mismatch between the nominal commodity name and the electrical and transit hardware appearing in recent solicitations. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should verify the exact specification alignment with actual posting notices rather than relying on the code name alone.
