UNSPSC 31151906: Ratchet tie down strap

Assembly made of a strong, narrow fabric, closely woven, ratchet buckle, and fittings at both ends principally used as strap designed to withstand strain.

UNSPSC 31151906 Ratchet tie down strap is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure securing straps and fastening hardware for athletic equipment, maintenance supplies, grounds care, and facility operations. The code appears in a fragmented buy pattern across school districts, municipal governments, state agencies, and county authorities, typically as a line item within broader consumables or equipment consolidation solicitations rather than as a standalone product category.

Recent activity spans Texas, Michigan, and Florida. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio posted IFB 2026137 on October 1, 2026, consolidating athletic equipment, supplies, software, and related services across four expiring contracts with bids due October 19, 2026—a solicitation that draws all incumbent vendors to re-compete to maintain business with the District. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017729 on September 7, 2026, for miscellaneous maintenance and campus parts supplies on behalf of Denton State Supported Living Center with bids due September 14, 2026, explicitly including ratchet straps as one of 18 line items under a one-year term (September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027) with historical spend of $100,000 over the prior 12 months. The City of Dallas posted a bird netting and tie-downs solicitation (IFSDPDB700008) on September 14, 2026, with proposals due September 23, 2026, though limited detail is available. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Tampa posted ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies totaling an estimated $765,679.84 for a one-year period with bids due July 24, 2026, serving the Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations. The code shows minimal standalone activity; most procurement flows through larger supply and equipment bundles where ratchet straps function as supporting items rather than primary drivers of solicitation strategy.
