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 minimal recent activity aligned with its stated scope in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment broadly, not nichrome wire or materials for electrical resistance applications. The disconnect between the code's nominal product (nichrome alloy wire used in heating elements, industrial furnaces, and electrical components) and the actual solicitation scope suggests either a tagging error or that the code has not been used for its intended commodity recently in state and local contracting.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, with availability to other jurisdictions, school districts, and public bodies nationwide. Geographic activity centers on Washington state counties, though the cooperative purchasing structure extends the potential vendor base across the United States and Canada. No additional recent opportunities appear in the source, indicating that nichrome alloy wire procurement under this code carries minimal current volume in state and local markets. Firms pursuing this category should verify that target opportunities are correctly tagged to this commodity code before committing resources to RFQ or RFP responses.
