UNSPSC 31151510: Rayon rope

Rayon is a material made from synthetic textile fibers produced by forcing a cellulose solution through fine spinnerets and solidifying the resulting filaments, with this material we get a silk-like texture rope but more resistant than silk, and it is good to control mite infestation.

UNSPSC 31151510 Rayon rope is a Commodity code that encompasses cordage products including paracord, nylon and polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, and twine that state and local governments procure for operational inventory and departmental use. The work being solicited under this code reflects demand for industrial-grade cordage across fire rescue, public works, and general municipal operations rather than specialized rope applications. Soliciting bodies include cities (Philadelphia, Tampa), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state public sector networks. The code sees activity from both small micro-purchases under $45,000 and larger consumable contracts in the mid-six-figure range, with buyers requiring firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, standard insurance compliance, and compliance with local tax and ethics provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Washington, with notable solicitations from the City of Philadelphia and the City of Tampa in the third quarter of 2026. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ (Solicitation B2728153, due October 15, 2026) for military-grade 550 Type III paracord in black and yellow under its PHLContracts platform. The City of Tampa released an RFQ (26P00489, due August 25, 2026) covering twelve line items of cord and rope inventory with quantities ranging from 2 to 1,000 units and five-business-day delivery windows. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) valued at approximately $765,679.84 for janitorial and operational supplies including cordage for 47 fire stations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment that included cordage components and extended contracting eligibility to participating counties across Washington and other jurisdictions nationwide.
