UNSPSC 31151900: Straps

UNSPSC 31151900 Straps, a Class code, covers tie-downs, ratchet straps, and cargo-restraint accessories that state and local governments procure for athletic equipment storage, facility maintenance, and grounds management. The solicitations under this code show straps functioning as components within larger consumable-supply or equipment-procurement packages rather than as standalone line items — they appear bundled with netting, protective gear, janitorial supplies, and operational equipment for schools, municipalities, and state-supported facilities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county commissioners, city procurement offices, and state health and human services agencies. The work is straightforward supply delivery with emphasis on rapid turnaround, authorized-distributor status, and compliance with insurance and certification requirements.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio posted an IFB on October 1, 2026, due October 19, 2026, consolidating athletic equipment, supplies, and services across four expiring contracts—a high-volume annual procurement that vendors must bid to maintain existing business. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017729 for the Denton State Supported Living Center with a September 14, 2026, due date, including ratchet straps among 18 miscellaneous maintenance and campus-supply line items under a $100,000 annual historical spend, renewable for one additional year starting October 1, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited janitorial and operational supplies via ITB-26-00319 with a July 24, 2026, due date and an estimated one-year value of $765,679.84 for its Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations; the City of Dallas posted a smaller netting and tie-down proposal (IFSDPDB700008, due September 23, 2026) with minimal specification detail provided.
