UNSPSC 31152203: Stainless steel wire

A steel wire given corrosion resistance by adding 12 percent more chromium. It resists rust because of the passivity film of chromium oxide under the oxidative atmosphere.

UNSPSC 31152203 Stainless steel wire is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026, with response due June 16, 2026—carries the label "Law Enforcement Equipment" and does not reflect actual stainless steel wire procurement. The scope nominally covers wire products, but the recent solicitation record does not demonstrate genuine demand for this commodity under the code; the mismatch between the code's commodity name and the law enforcement equipment solicitation suggests either miscoding in state or local procurement systems or a posting error in the source data.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted the opportunity on behalf of Participating Entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation is a cooperative RFP designed to establish a contracting solution available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. Because the posted opportunity does not reflect genuine stainless steel wire procurement, the code shows no actionable recent activity for business development targeting this commodity at the state and local level.
