UNSPSC 31151617: Dragline chain

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

UNSPSC 31151617 Dragline chain is a Commodity code representing specialized chain products that state and local governments procure for equipment maintenance, material handling, and operational inventory needs. The recent activity under this code shows municipal and county purchasing departments buying high-grade chain in multiple specifications—transport grade, alloy steel, galvanized proof coil, and zinc-plated varieties—in quantities typically ranging from 100 to 800 feet per line item. The code captures both direct municipal supply procurement (for parks, public works, and general operations) and inclusion in broader law enforcement and equipment cooperative agreements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city purchasing departments (most visibly the City of Tampa Purchasing Department acting on behalf of municipal and county divisions) and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell, which aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions, school districts, and public entities.

Recent opportunities show the City of Tampa Purchasing Department issuing RFQ 26P00328 on behalf of Hillsborough County and City of Tampa departments, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 15, 2026 response deadline, for six line items of specialized chain with FOB Destination delivery within five business days and 30-day payment terms. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, sought law enforcement equipment solutions (including chain products) through a cooperative framework available to multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima among them), public entities, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. Both solicitations required submission through electronic portals and compliance with state-specific requirements (Florida E-Verify for Tampa, Washington RCW 39.34 for Sourcewell). Geographic activity centers on Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with the code seeing limited but concrete recent activity tied to operational supply and cooperative purchasing vehicles.
