UNSPSC 31151620: Grain elevator chain

Specific chain equipped with metal and/or rubber paddles fitted into grain tank elevator or grain return elevator used for carrying cereals to a grain tank or to separation system.

UNSPSC 31151620 Grain elevator chain is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single substantive recent opportunity in the source—the City of Tucson's RFP (Solicitation 260200, due Jul 7, 2026) for maintenance and repair of vertical conveyance systems—concerns elevators, material handling units, and chair lifts across city facilities, not grain-handling equipment. The Tucson solicitation does reference chain-driven or similar conveyor-type systems within the broader vertical conveyance category, but the opportunity is fundamentally an elevator maintenance contract with federal compliance requirements (HUD, FTA, Section 3 employment, DBE participation, Buy America) rather than a grain-elevator procurement. A second notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department (Solicitation 26OTHER73, posted Jul 14, 2026) is a relocation announcement without procurement scope and does not constitute a contract opportunity.

The code shows no identifiable pattern of recent solicitations for grain elevator chains or grain-handling equipment from state or local jurisdictions. The Tucson opportunity, while tagged under this code, reflects vertical conveyance maintenance rather than grain logistics infrastructure. State and local procurement under UNSPSC 31151620 does not appear active in the current cycle. A business development professional should verify current vertical conveyance opportunities under parent family or class codes if elevator maintenance and repair work is of interest; grain-handling equipment opportunities, if they exist in state and local procurement, are not visible under this Commodity code in recent postings.
