UNSPSC 31151605: Sash chain

UNSPSC 31151605 Sash chain, a Commodity code, covers specialized chain products procured by state and local jurisdictions for operational and equipment needs across multiple departments and functional areas. Recent solicitations show that "sash chain" as a code category encompasses broader chain inventory than the nominal title suggests — state and local buyers are actually sourcing transport-grade, alloy-steel, galvanized proof-coil, and specification-grade chains in various gauges (3/16 inch through 3/8 inch) for municipal operations, law enforcement equipment systems, and lifting and securing applications. The issuing bodies are primarily city and county purchasing departments (the City of Tampa Purchasing Department on behalf of Hillsborough County departments, and Sourcewell as a Minnesota local government unit cooperative representing five Washington counties and broader public entities across the United States and Canada). Procurement notices are issued as RFQs and RFPs, with award periods typically spanning one year, delivery required within five to ten business days of order, and FOB Destination pricing with all freight included.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26P00328 on July 2, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for six line items of chain inventory totaling roughly 600 feet across multiple grades and specifications, and RFQ 26P00214 (posted March 18, 2026, due April 15, 2026) for 20 line items of hooks, shackles, chain, and lifting hardware. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) as a cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment, with submissions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, extending across participating entities in Washington, Minnesota, and broader jurisdictions nationwide. No set-aside designations or budget ranges are explicitly disclosed in the available documentation, and payment terms run approximately 30 days following receipt, acceptance, and invoicing.
