UNSPSC 31151504: Nylon rope

UNSPSC 31151504 Nylon rope is a Commodity code covering consumable cordage and lifting hardware procured by state and local governments for operational, maintenance, and equipment-securing applications. The recent solicitations show nylon rope and related rope products bundled within broader consumable-supply and hardware-procurement initiatives, rather than as standalone line items. State and local buyers under this code include county boards of commissioners, city purchasing departments, cooperative purchasing entities (such as Sourcewell), and special-purpose fire rescue and public safety departments. The scope of work encompasses delivery of new, unused rope and cordage in original packaging for as-needed operational use, with typical requirements for authorized-distributor status, standard delivery within ten days of purchase order receipt, and freight-on-board destination pricing that includes all shipping and warranty costs.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, particularly the Tampa and Hillsborough County area, and the Pacific Northwest through Sourcewell's cooperative framework. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 in July 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies (including cordage products) for the Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations, with bids due July 24, 2026 and an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84; the City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00214 in March 2026 for hooks, shackles, and related hardware (including nylon slings) with a due date of April 15, 2026. Sourcewell, representing a multistate cooperative including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and entities across the United States and Canada, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, which may encompass rope and cordage for law enforcement operational use across thousands of governmental and public entities.
