UNSPSC 31152205: Oil tempered wire

A type of wire made by the tempering process after quenching the cold work wire and oil in consecutive passes.

UNSPSC 31152205 Oil tempered wire is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct application in current state and local procurement activity. 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 broadly, not wire products specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (oil tempered wire for industrial or mechanical applications) and the actual procurement (law enforcement gear) suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that wire is incidental to a much larger equipment package. State and local governments do procure wire through commodity codes, but the available record does not support active, code-specific demand for oil tempered wire at this tier.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state, with the contract framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. No geographic concentration of oil tempered wire procurement emerges from the source, and no representative opportunities directly targeting the commodity are present. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that downstream awards or participating-entity orders under cooperative vehicles like Sourcewell actually specify wire components before committing resources to pursuit.
