UNSPSC 31152100: Cords

Lengths of flexible material similar to rope, but thinner, shorter and used for tying and binding. Made of natural or synthetic fibers or threads.

UNSPSC 31152100 Cords, a Class code, covers consumable and equipment-support supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for operational and janitorial use, fire rescue operations, law enforcement support, and facilities maintenance. Recent solicitations under this code show a mix of routine janitorial consumables (cleaning supplies, operational supplies), law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks, and specialized hardware such as hooks, shackles, and rigging equipment. The issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County), municipal purchasing departments (City of Tampa), and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities nationwide.

Recent activity spans Florida, California, Washington, and Minnesota. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB 26-00319 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies with an estimated value of $765,679.84 for one year ending July 24, 2026, supplying 47 fire stations; Sourcewell issuing RFP #061626 on behalf of its Participating Entities for law enforcement equipment with proposals due June 16, 2026; and the City of Tampa issuing RFQ 26-P-00214 for hooks, shackles, and rigging hardware with quotes due April 15, 2026. Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department also issued pre-qualification solicitations for electrical services (JOC 0602627002PQJFC) and security electronics and detention equipment services (JOC 0602627005PQJFC) due April 13, 2026. Cooperative purchasing arrangements appear to amplify reach—the Sourcewell RFP explicitly extends availability to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada.
