UNSPSC 31152201: Low carbon steel wire

A type of wire generally referred to as iron wire. It has a carbon content ranging from of 0.06 percent to 0.25 percent and a tensile strength of 35 kilograms per square millimeter.

UNSPSC 31152201 Low carbon steel wire is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with response due June 16, 2026 — solicits law enforcement equipment rather than low carbon steel wire or wire products. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is issuing the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada. The resulting framework agreement is intended to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The mismatch between the code's steel-wire scope and the law enforcement equipment procurement indicates this code does not currently reflect active state and local buying patterns for low carbon steel wire products.

The single recent opportunity under this code spans Washington state and multiple other jurisdictions through Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle, but the scope — law enforcement equipment — lies outside the code's intended commodity classification. No other recent state and local opportunities matching the low carbon steel wire scope appear in the available data. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and monitor for future steel-wire solicitations from state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities separately from law enforcement equipment frameworks.
