UNSPSC 31151904: Plastic straps

UNSPSC 31151904 Plastic straps, a Commodity code, is used by state and local governments to procure straps, tie-downs, and related fastening materials for athletic equipment, facilities maintenance, golf course operations, and general consumable supplies. The scope spans plastic banding, ratchet straps, and similar securing devices used across school districts, municipal public works, state health and human services facilities, and county operational departments. Issuing bodies are chiefly school districts and municipalities, with occasional state agency procurement on behalf of facilities and supported living centers. The work is transactional and largely commoditized, with solicitations typically consolidated into broader supplies or equipment contracts rather than issued as standalone strap purchases.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Florida, with representation from independent school districts, city procurement offices, and state-level purchasing on behalf of designated facilities. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio issued IFB 2026137 on October 1, 2026, consolidating four expiring athletic-supply contracts including materials and installation services, with bids due October 19, 2026; the City of Dallas posted an RFQ on September 14, 2026 (due September 23) for bird netting, tie-downs, straps, and protective netting; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited miscellaneous campus parts and supplies including ratchet straps under IFB HHS0017729, due September 14, 2026, with a historical annual value of $100,000.00 and a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies totaling an estimated $765,679.84, though the published summary does not itemize plastic straps explicitly. The City of Taylor, Michigan's golf course netting project (IFBDATE2621, due September 29, 2026) involves poles and netting rather than straps as the primary scope. Activity is episodic and driven by contract renewal cycles and facility-specific procurement needs rather than steady-state demand.
