UNSPSC 31151619: Escalator step chain

A chain used exclusively for escalators that causes the step to move which is the part passengers step onto.

UNSPSC 31151619 Escalator step chain is a Commodity code that captures specialized chain products for operational inventory and maintenance across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations under this code, however, show minimal activity directly aligned with the nominal scope of escalator-specific components. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department's RFQ 26-P-00328 for Chain for Inventory (posted May 12, 2026, due June 15, 2026) sought six line items of general-purpose chain in varying gauges and grades—transport chain, alloy steel, galvanized proof coil, and zinc chain—intended for multiple municipal departments rather than escalator maintenance specifically. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), appears unrelated to escalator components and does not represent relevant procurement activity under this code.

The Tampa solicitation represents the primary recent state-local activity capturing this code. Issuing bodies include the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County departments purchasing commodity chain for general operational needs. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, specifically the Tampa Bay region, with no additional recent state-local opportunities under this code evident in the source. The Tampa RFQ required delivery FOB Destination within five business days of order, proof of insurance prior to award, compliance with Florida's E-Verify requirements, and pricing inclusive of shipping and handling. Contract terms were one year with approximately 30-day payment following receipt and acceptance. The code shows limited recent state-local procurement volume, and buyers have not posted escalator-specific solicitations matching the code's nominal scope during this period.
