UNSPSC 24101672: Chain sling

Chain slings are built under extreme manufacturing conditions to withstand high-temperature applications and heavy loading conditions, used to lift very heavy and bulky loads on a regular or repetitive basis.

UNSPSC 24101672 Chain sling is a Commodity code; the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a significant mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The four recent opportunities in the source are a cooperative purchasing agreement for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions), a comprehensive pavement rehabilitation project (Santa Clara County), a guardrail replacement and safety barrier project (Santa Clara County), and a bridge replacement project with environmental restoration (Santa Clara County). None of these solicitations center on chain slings or rigging hardware—the law enforcement equipment RFP may include slings as ancillary safety or tactical gear, but the three California infrastructure projects are road and bridge work where slings, if procured at all, would be minor line items within broader construction scopes. The code appears to show little relevant recent activity for chain slings as a primary procurement focus.

The geographic concentration is narrow: Santa Clara County, California dominates the recent pipeline with three ITB opportunities posted between February and April 2026 (Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement due March 5, 2026; Expressway Guardrail Replacement due April 23, 2026; and Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation due May 21, 2026), while the Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) spans Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide but is centered on law enforcement equipment rather than rigging supplies. If your firm pursues slings specifically, the Santa Clara County infrastructure projects may offer embedded demand within general construction contracts, but this code does not reliably signal direct chain sling procurement in state and local markets right now.
