UNSPSC 31150000: Rope and chain and cable and wire and strap

UNSPSC 31150000 Rope and chain and cable and wire and strap, a Family code, encompasses industrial fastening, rigging, and binding materials that state and local governments purchase for infrastructure maintenance, fleet operations, and construction support—but the recent opportunities block shows minimal relevant procurement activity under this code. The few opportunities that reference this family address tangential equipment needs rather than rope, chain, cable, wire, or strap as primary deliverables. Of the 44 recent opportunities examined, none solicits the core products this code nominally covers; instead, the block contains notices of departmental relocations, reverse trade shows, vendor feedback surveys, and narrowly scoped equipment procurements (plate compactors, bulldozers, gearboxes, brooms) that do not map to the code's product taxonomy. The single opportunity potentially touching on rigging materials—the Harris County Toll Road Authority's ITB for sprayers and spreaders—specified proprietary equipment from named manufacturers (Henderson, Wylie & Son, ACE Pumps, Texas Industrial Remcor) rather than generic fastening or binding stock.

The record reflects no active state or local procurement under UNSPSC 31150000 in the recent window. Issuing bodies represented in the opportunity block span Florida counties (Orange, Hillsborough, Santa Clara), Texas municipalities (Wichita, San Angelo, Lewisville), and New England state departments (New Hampshire DOT), but none of these solicitations target rope, chain, cable, wire, or strap—materials typically absorbed into larger MRO blanket-purchase contracts, construction projects, or fleet-maintenance agreements that may not be tagged to this specific code. The code shows little purchasing signal at present and does not warrant active pursuit based on available recent opportunities.
