UNSPSC 24101641: Shackle

A usually U-shaped fastening device secured by a bolt or pin through holes in the end of the two arms and or chain. Typically used during material handling.

UNSPSC 24101641 Shackle is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal direct alignment with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve electronic IT equipment (City of Dallas) and security systems, parts, and consumables including alarm and access control systems (School Board of Sarasota County, Florida) — neither of which represents shackle procurement in the traditional sense. State and local governments do buy hardware components and fastening equipment across many commodity categories, but the recent opportunities under this specific code do not reflect shackle-focused solicitations; instead, the code appears to capture broader IT and security equipment sourcing where vendors may bundle miscellaneous hardware or consumables.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a major city procurement office (Dallas) and a county school board (Sarasota), both using online bidding portals (Bonfire and VendorLink respectively). The geographic concentration visible in the source extends to Texas and Florida. The Dallas solicitation (IFSAVIB1300001, due June 8, 2026) required FOB delivery to Airport Logistics with new, unopened products in original packaging, rejecting alternatives outright. The Sarasota County School Board solicitation (#26-0158, due March 10, 2026) established a one-year master agreement with optional renewals covering firm percentage discounts off MSRP from 72 manufacturers, firm fixed pricing for consumable products, and hourly labor rates for installation and repair across 52 school and department locations; bidders for alarm or access control work required current Florida Electrical Contractor licensure (Class EF or EG), three commercial references, E-Verify registration, and emergency hurricane or disaster response terms. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeted at shackle products themselves.
