UNSPSC 25174205: Tie Rods

UNSPSC 25174205 Tie Rods, a Commodity code, encompasses fastening hardware and structural components used in electrical utility infrastructure and related construction and maintenance. State and local governments procure tie rods and related fastening items—including bolts, lugs, couplers, clamps, and ground rods—primarily for utility system operations, substation maintenance, and transmission line work. The issuing bodies active under this code include municipal electric utilities and county purchasing departments managing infrastructure assets.

Activity under this code is sparse in recent postings. The most concrete recent opportunity is Lubbock Power & Light's RFQ 26-7017-ELD, posted September 28, 2026 with quotes due October 5, 2026, which requested 42 line items of electrical components and fastening hardware for delivery to the Erskine Substation in Lubbock, Texas. The solicitation called for specialized hardware including bolts, lugs, couplers, insulators, cables, and clamps with quantities ranging from 2 to 2,100 units per item, with delivery time weighted as a selection factor and FOB destination pricing required. No other clearly relevant tie-rod or fastening-hardware solicitations appear in the recent opportunity set; a second notice from Williamson County is administrative relocation only and contains no procurement scope. The geographic spread is limited to Texas based on available recent activity.
