UNSPSC 31152303: Nichrome alloy wire

A type of wire made with an alloy of nickel and chrome.

UNSPSC 31152303 Nichrome alloy wire, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026—does not solicit nichrome alloy wire or materials related to its application. Nichrome wire is a high-temperature resistant alloy typically specified in heating elements, industrial controls, and precision instrumentation; law enforcement equipment procurement does not ordinarily call for this material class. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunity posting or that this code sees no active state and local buying activity at present.

Absent representative opportunities that align with the code's actual scope, no reliable geographic pattern or issuing-body characterization can be drawn. Sourcewell, acting as a service cooperative on behalf of the State of Minnesota and multiple Washington counties, is the only issuing body present in the recent record, and the procurement is structured as a cooperative vehicle serving thousands of governmental agencies nationwide rather than a direct state or local agency buy. State and local procurement teams evaluating this code should verify current demand signals through active RFP and RFQ channels before committing resources to pursuit.
