UNSPSC 31151519: Latex rope

A flexible rope made of latex that makes it exceptionally abrasion resistant and UV radiation resistant.

UNSPSC 31151519 Latex rope, a Commodity code, encompasses cordage products that state and local governments procure for operational and departmental use, including paracord, nylon rope, polypropylene rope, and wire rope slings in various diameters and configurations. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, and county-level cooperatives buying these materials for inventory replenishment and emergency-response readiness. The City of Philadelphia, City of Tampa, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have all posted solicitations under this code within the past three months, indicating steady demand across municipalities for stock replenishment on fixed contract terms, typically one-year agreements with firm, fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery.

Activity under the code is concentrated in Florida and Pennsylvania, with a significant cooperative-purchasing component through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties. The City of Philadelphia solicited 550 Type III paracord in black and yellow under micro-purchase authority (RFQ B2728153, due October 15, 2026), requiring military-grade specification compliance and offering award to the lowest responsive bidder by line item if advantageous to the city. The City of Tampa posted RFQ 26-P-00489 for cord and rope inventory across twelve line items ranging from nylon cord to twine in varying quantities (due August 25, 2026), with five-business-day delivery and one-year contract term. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations (due July 24, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84, requiring delivery within ten days of purchase-order receipt to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. Sourcewell, on behalf of participating Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) structured as a cooperative-purchasing framework available to governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada.
