UNSPSC 31152107: Neoprene cord

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

UNSPSC 31152107 Neoprene cord, a Commodity code, encompasses cordage and rope products that state and local governments procure for operational inventory and departmental use. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring military-grade paracord, nylon and polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, and general-purpose cordage in bulk quantities for storage, emergency response, and field operations. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county governments, and regional service cooperatives that source on behalf of multiple jurisdictions. The scope reflects low-complexity, consumable purchases typically awarded on a lowest-responsive-bidder basis with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and one-year contract terms.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ for 550 Type III paracord in black and yellow (due October 15, 2026) with a maximum threshold under $45,000 and a 60-day quote validity requirement. The City of Tampa solicited cord and rope for inventory covering nylon cord, nylon rope, polypropylene rope, wire rope slings, and twine in multiple sizes under RFQ 26-P-00489 (due August 25, 2026), with five-business-day delivery to specified city locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies including cordage items for its Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84 for one year). Sourcewell, the Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, released an RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating Washington state counties and multiple jurisdictions nationwide, though this opportunity spans broader equipment scope beyond cordage alone.
