UNSPSC 31151613: Engineering chain

Chain designed to operate in elevators, drives and rugged conveyor service.

UNSPSC 31151613 Engineering chain is a Commodity code encompassing industrial and specialty chain products that state and local governments procure for operational equipment, infrastructure maintenance, and law enforcement applications. Recent solicitations show purchases spanning transport-grade chain in multiple gauges and alloy specifications—3/8 inch and 9/32 inch alloy steel, galvanized proof coil chain in Grade 30, and zinc-plated variants—all with defined working load limits and brand specifications. The buying population includes municipal departments (public works, equipment operations, facilities), county governments, and law enforcement agencies. Issuing bodies access chain supplies through both direct municipal RFQs and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with the City of Tampa Purchasing Department soliciting chain inventory in RFQ 26P00328 (due June 15, 2026) on behalf of Hillsborough County and multiple City of Tampa divisions—a one-year supply arrangement with five-business-day delivery and 30-day payment terms. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state, with participation available to public entities across the United States and Canada—a framework vehicle intended to serve thousands of governmental, educational, tribal, and nonprofit members. Both solicitations emphasize FOB Destination delivery, proof of insurance, and compliance with state procurement law and E-Verify requirements, with no explicit small-business or disadvantaged-business set-asides disclosed in available documentation.
