UNSPSC 31152106: Polyester cord

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

UNSPSC 31152106 Polyester cord is a Commodity code that covers synthetic cordage and fastening materials state and local governments procure for operational, maintenance, and equipment-securing applications. Recent solicitations show limited direct purchasing of polyester cord itself; instead, the code appears in mixed-commodity procurements where cordage sits alongside broader supply categories. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600319 in July 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies ($765,679.84 estimated value) to support 47 fire stations operating continuously, bundling polyester and synthetic cordage within a broader supplies portfolio. The City of Tampa and Hillsborough County jointly issued RFQ 26-P-00214 in March 2026 for hooks, shackles, and lifting hardware, which included nylon slings (a related synthetic cordage product) alongside chains and metal fasteners. State and county governments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, typically purchasing polyester cord and related synthetic materials as part of larger, mixed-commodity operational-supply contracts rather than standalone cordage buys.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa), with broader cooperative purchasing activity through Sourcewell reaching multiple states. The Sourcewell RFP 061626 (May 2026) for law enforcement equipment, though nominally focused on specialized law enforcement gear, demonstrates the pattern of codes used in multi-item cooperative procurements spanning dozens of participating jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Polyester cord and synthetic fastening materials appear to move through county and municipal supply chains on an as-needed basis with ten-day standard delivery windows and FOB-Destination pricing. No recent solicitation isolated polyester cord as a primary procurement focus, suggesting the code captures secondary demand within larger operational-supply and equipment buys rather than dedicated cordage contracts.
