UNSPSC 31151614: Conveying chain

Chain designed to be used as a conveyor, generally with table top attachments.

UNSPSC 31151614 Conveying chain is a Commodity code covering specialized chain products that state and local governments procure for operational and equipment needs across multiple municipal and county departments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing transport-grade chain, alloy steel chain, galvanized proof coil chain, and branded specialty chains in quantities ranging from 100 to 800 feet, with specific load ratings and material specifications driven by end-use requirements in public works, maintenance, law enforcement, and facilities management. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing departments (city of Tampa Purchasing Department), county governments (Hillsborough County, Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County), and cooperative purchasing entities serving statewide and multi-state networks of public agencies (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative). The code sees activity from city procurement offices, county purchasing departments, and state-level cooperative vehicles that aggregate demand across thousands of participating public entities.
