UNSPSC 31151612: Block chain

A multi-leaf chain mainly used in hoist applications.

UNSPSC 31151612 Block chain is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement reflects actual purchasing of physical chain products for operational inventory, not blockchain technology. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy specialized metal chains in varying gauges, grades, and materials—including transport-grade chain, alloy steel chain, galvanized proof-coil chain, and zinc chain—for use across municipal departments in maintenance, securing, and rigging operations. The issuing bodies are primarily city purchasing departments procuring on behalf of multiple internal divisions and county departments; the City of Tampa Purchasing Department has posted multiple recent solicitations under related codes (hooks, shackles, and chain inventory). Procurement notices are typically RFQs with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery within five to ten business days, and one-year contract terms with broad municipal discretion to award by line item or aggregate total.

Recent activity centers in Florida, particularly Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa, which issued RFQ 26P00328 for Chain for Inventory on May 12, 2026, with responses due June 15, 2026, seeking six line items including 800 feet of 3/8 inch transport-grade 70 chain, various grades of galvanized proof-coil chain in multiple sizes, and Gunnebo-brand alloy steel chain. A second relevant opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026 with deadline June 16, 2026, appears to have been tagged under this code but encompasses broader law enforcement equipment sourcing for a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus Participating Entities nationwide). The Sourcewell vehicle structure suggests potential scale once established, but the primary documented activity under this code remains straightforward chain inventory procurement from municipal purchasing offices in the Tampa and Hillsborough County area.
