UNSPSC 31151613: Engineering chain

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

UNSPSC 31151613 Engineering chain (Commodity) encompasses industrial chain products that state and local governments procure for operational inventory, lifting, and securing applications across municipal departments and county facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized chain grades and materials, including transport-grade 70 chain, alloy steel grade 100 chain, proof coil galvanized chain in multiple gauges, and zinc-coated chain, with quantities typically in the 100–800-foot range per specification. The work is straightforward commodity procurement focused on competitive pricing and delivery performance; issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city purchasing departments and county governments, acting on behalf of multiple internal divisions and departments with general operational needs rather than specialized technical requirements.

The City of Tampa Purchasing Department is a repeat buyer under this code, having posted RFQ 26-P-00328 for Chain for Inventory on July 2, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) and RFQ 26-P-00214 for Hooks and Shackles on March 18, 2026 (due April 15, 2026), both on behalf of Hillsborough County and City of Tampa departments. Geographic activity centers on Florida, particularly the Tampa and Hillsborough County area, with evidence of broader state and local participation through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing platform, which issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) with participation from Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. Contract terms across recent opportunities are typically one year with FOB Destination delivery within five to ten business days, fixed pricing with freight included, and 30-day payment terms; no set-aside designations are explicitly identified in the available documentation.
