UNSPSC 31151605: Sash chain

UNSPSC 31151605 Sash chain is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized industrial and utility chains for operational inventory replenishment and equipment support. State and local governments buy this code primarily as a maintenance and operational supply — small quantities of replacement chain stock in various gauges and grades (proof coil, transport, alloy steel) used across municipal divisions and public-sector departments. Issuing bodies include city and county purchasing departments, cooperative purchasing consortiums, and law-enforcement-adjacent public entities. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department and Sourcewell (a Minnesota intergovernmental service cooperative) are active buyers under or near this code in the recent-opportunities window.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and the Upper Midwest. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ (26P00328) in May 2026 for chain inventory across Hillsborough County and municipal divisions, with a response deadline of June 15, 2026, seeking six line items ranging from 3/16-inch to 3/8-inch proof coil and transport-grade chains in quantities of 100 to 800 feet per item, FOB destination with five-business-day delivery and 30-day payment terms. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) in May 2026 on behalf of participating counties in Washington State (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada to establish a cooperative contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026; this opportunity's relationship to sash chain specifically is unclear from the available documentation. No set-aside designations or budget ranges are disclosed in either solicitation. The Tampa opportunity emphasizes competitive pricing and compliance with Florida E-Verify requirements and procurement statutes as primary evaluation factors.
