UNSPSC 31151517: Aloe rope

A rope made of aloe vera, a material that makes this rope very resistant to deterioration.

UNSPSC 31151517 Aloe rope, a Commodity code, encompasses cordage products that state and local governments procure for operational inventory and departmental use. Recent solicitations show that governments are purchasing 550 Type III paracord, nylon cord, polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, nylon rope, and twine in bulk quantities for ongoing operational needs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include cities (Philadelphia, Tampa), counties (Hillsborough County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and other states). The scope is straightforward procurement of consumable rope and cordage materials in various grades and configurations, quoted on firm fixed-price, FOB Destination terms with typical delivery windows of three to ten business days.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Pennsylvania, with cooperative purchasing extending the code's reach across Washington state and beyond. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro purchase for 550 Type III paracord (military-grade, black and yellow) with quotes due October 15, 2026 under Solicitation B2728153. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00489 for cord and rope inventory across twelve line items on August 25, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies—including cordage products—for the Fire Rescue Department at an estimated contract value of $765,679.84, with bids due July 24, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) that reaches participating entities across multiple states. These solicitations indicate routine departmental restocking rather than project-driven demand, with no set-asides or preferences in evidence across the recent opportunities.
