UNSPSC 31151606: Jack chains

UNSPSC 31151606 Jack chains is a Commodity code covering specialized chain products that state and local governments procure for operational, maintenance, and equipment-support purposes across multiple departments and divisions. Recent solicitations show that actual procurement focuses on specific chain grades and configurations — transport grade 70 chain, alloy steel grade 100 chain, galvanized proof coil chain in multiple sizes with defined working load limits, and zinc-plated variants — all sourced to support municipal inventory, law enforcement equipment programs, and cross-departmental operational needs. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal purchasing departments and county governments; the City of Tampa Purchasing Department appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting chain products on behalf of both Tampa and Hillsborough County departments.

Activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with the City of Tampa (Hillsborough County, Florida) posting RFQ 26P00328 for Chain for Inventory on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 15, 2026, seeking six line items of specialized chain products with FOB Destination delivery within five business days and a one-year award period. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, establishing a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state. The City of Tampa also posted RFQ 26P00214 for Hooks and Shackles on March 18, 2026 with an April 15, 2026 deadline, covering 20 line items of lifting and securing hardware alongside chain components, again on behalf of Hillsborough County. No set-aside designations are explicitly identified across these solicitations; payment terms typically run 30 days post-delivery and invoice, with vendors required to include all freight on a firm-fixed basis and provide proof of insurance prior to award.
