UNSPSC 31151617: Dragline chain

Chain built to exact specifications used for lifting or dragging dragline buckets.

UNSPSC 31151617 Dragline chain, a Commodity code, covers specialized chain products that state and local governments procure for operational and equipment-support purposes across multiple departments and divisions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing transport-grade, alloy steel, galvanized proof-coil, and zinc chains in specified gauges and lengths—typically 100 to 800 feet per line item—with technical specifications for working load limits and material grade. The code appears to span general inventory replenishment for municipal operations rather than heavy-duty dragline equipment alone; issuing bodies include city purchasing departments acting on behalf of county and municipal divisions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell that aggregate demand across state, county, city, and special-purpose jurisdictions.

The City of Tampa Purchasing Department has been the most active recent buyer under or near this code, issuing RFQ 26P00328 on May 12, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for six line items of specialized chain to support Hillsborough County and City of Tampa departments, with one-year contract terms, FOB Destination delivery within five business days, and 30-day payment terms. A related RFQ from Tampa (26P00214, posted March 18, 2026, due April 15, 2026) solicited hooks, shackles, and chain components across 20 line items for county and city use. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment with participation from Washington and Minnesota counties, though the law enforcement equipment scope diverges from typical dragline chain procurement and may indicate miscoding. Florida has shown the clearest recent activity; no set-aside designations are identified in the Tampa solicitations, and award authority is reserved by division, line item, or aggregate.
