UNSPSC 31152101: Cotton cord

A length of flexible material similar to rope, but thinner and shorter, made of cotton fibers braided together.

UNSPSC 31152101 Cotton cord is a Commodity code that appears to capture industrial fastening, rigging, and securing supplies used by state and local governments in maintenance, public safety, and infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations tagged under this code show limited direct relevance to cotton cord specifically; instead, they reflect a broader procurement category encompassing janitorial supplies, law enforcement equipment, and metal fastening hardware such as hooks, shackles, chains, and slings. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal purchasing departments, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multi-jurisdictional public agencies including fire rescue departments, city and county maintenance operations, and law enforcement agencies.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Washington state, based on recent opportunities. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB on July 7, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) for janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84 annually for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, requiring delivery within ten days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department, on behalf of Hillsborough County, issued RFQ 26-P-00214 on March 18, 2026 (due April 15, 2026) for hooks, shackles, chain, slings, and tie-down straps across multiple line items and quantities. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment to serve participating counties in Washington state and public entities nationwide. The code shows activity but limited recent opportunities specifically for cotton cord; most tagged solicitations involve metal rigging hardware, janitorial goods, and law enforcement supplies that fall outside the nominal commodity scope.
