UNSPSC 31151503: Polypropylene rope

UNSPSC 31151503 Polypropylene rope is a Commodity code that captures consumable rope and cordage products state and local governments source for operational and maintenance activities across fire rescue, law enforcement, and public works departments. Recent solicitations show demand centered on janitorial and operational supplies procurement, law enforcement equipment contracting frameworks, and lifting and securing hardware — suggesting the code receives mixed tagging across related procurement families. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, cooperative purchasing units serving multi-jurisdictional public entities, and city purchasing departments on behalf of operational departments. Hillsborough County appears as a repeat buyer, posting opportunities for consumable supplies across fire rescue operations and general departmental needs.

Activity clusters in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Hillsborough County, Florida issued an ITB in July 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies valued at $765,679.84 (due July 24, 2026) to supply 47 fire stations with new, unused products delivered within ten days of purchase order receipt. The City of Tampa, also on behalf of Hillsborough County, posted an RFQ in March 2026 for hooks, shackles, and securing hardware across multiple line items (due April 15, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment to serve participating entities across Washington and other states (due June 16, 2026), though the law enforcement equipment scope appears peripheral to rope and cordage procurement itself. The mixed tagging suggests procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently; verify actual polypropylene rope demand through direct inquiry or line-item review before committing resources.
