UNSPSC 31151500: Ropes

UNSPSC 31151500 Ropes, a Class code, encompasses cordage products that state and local governments procure for operational and departmental use, including military-grade paracord, nylon and polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, and twine in various diameters and configurations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county governments purchasing rope and cord as consumable inventory to support fire rescue operations, general maintenance, and departmental stockpiling. The mix of issuing bodies reflects routine procurement across cities, counties, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Philadelphia, City of Tampa, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have all posted recent opportunities for cordage products, with Tampa and Hillsborough County treating rope and cord as part of standing inventories for multiple departments.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Pennsylvania.

Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state (due June 16, 2026), though the solicitation scope is not confined to rope alone.
