UNSPSC 31151614: Conveying chain

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

UNSPSC 31151614 Conveying chain, a Commodity, encompasses industrial and marine-grade chain products that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance needs across departments. The recent solicitation activity shows procurement of specialized chain inventory—proof coil chains in galvanized and zinc finishes, transport-grade and alloy steel chains in various diameters (3/16 inch through 3/8 inch), and branded products meeting specific working-load standards—supplied as stock replenishment for municipal divisions, county operations, and public equipment maintenance. Issuing bodies under this code include cities and counties procuring for general operational use; Tampa and Hillsborough County represent the largest recent source of activity, with both entities consolidating chain procurement alongside related lifting hardware (hooks, shackles) in separate coordinated solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Florida, with the City of Tampa Purchasing Department issuing RFQ 26P00328 for chain inventory with a June 15, 2026 response deadline on behalf of multiple Hillsborough County and municipal divisions. The procurement specified six line items of chain products with FOB Destination delivery within five business days, all-inclusive pricing, and a one-year award period; the City reserves the right to award by division or line item. The City of Tampa also issued related RFQ 26P00214 in March 2026 (due April 15, 2026) covering hooks, shackles, and chain components, reflecting routine departmental demand for securing and rigging hardware. A broader cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) titled Law Enforcement Equipment–SW does not appear connected to conveying chain based on available documentation and likely represents a separate category mistagged in the state and local opportunity feed; the source shows no relevant recent activity outside the Tampa and Hillsborough County jurisdictions.
