UNSPSC 31152102: Nylon cord

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

UNSPSC 31152102 Nylon cord, a Commodity code, sees little recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code all involve unrelated product categories: janitorial and operational supplies consumables for fire rescue operations; law enforcement equipment through a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle; and hooks, shackles, chain, and lifting hardware. While the hooks-and-shackles opportunity does reference nylon slings as one of twenty line items, the substantive procurement focus across all three opportunities centers on different commodity families. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency at the issuing-body level or that nylon cord itself represents a minimal line-item component within broader facilities-maintenance and equipment-support solicitations rather than a standalone commodity generating dedicated procurement activity.

The three recent opportunities span Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and City of Tampa) and a multi-state cooperative through Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and nationwide public entities. The Hillsborough County janitorial-supplies ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) represents $765,679.84 over one year for consumables across 47 fire stations; the City of Tampa hooks-and-shackles RFQ (26-P-00214, closed April 15, 2026) was a ten-line-item equipment procurement with no disclosed budget; and the Sourcewell law-enforcement-equipment RFP (#061626, closed June 16, 2026) targeted thousands of public entities across multiple states. No dedicated nylon-cord RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs appear in recent filings, and no issuing bodies show repeat solicitation patterns under this code. The geographic and issuing-body concentration reflects incidental inclusion rather than direct procurement demand for nylon cord as a standalone product.
