UNSPSC 31161500: Screws

UNSPSC 31161500 Screws is a Class code that encompasses fasteners and hardware components used in construction, maintenance, and repair work across state and local facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under or near this code show that governments buy screws, bolts, and related fasteners as part of broader metals and hardware procurement — typically as inventory stock for facilities maintenance, public works operations, and building repairs rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies include county public works departments, cities, school districts through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose districts; Orange County, California's OC Public Works and the City of Lubbock, Texas are among recent buyers. Work solicited ranges from maintaining on-site inventory of fasteners and hardware for rapid fulfillment to incorporating fasteners as components within larger repair and maintenance service contracts.

Geographic activity in recent months spans California (Orange County IFB for metals and hardware posted October 7, 2026, due November 4, 2026), Texas (City of Lubbock commercial repair services ITB posted September 27, 2026, due October 20, 2026), Connecticut (City of Norwalk IT room upgrades ITB posted May 20, 2026, due June 16, 2026), and Harris County, Texas (HCDE painting, drywall, and flooring JOC-IDIQ posted May 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026). The Orange County procurement is the most directly relevant recent opportunity — a three-year inventory supply contract with a $855,000 not-to-exceed aggregate value requiring 30-mile-radius inventory maintenance and ten-working-day delivery windows. However, the available opportunities show limited direct procurement of screws as a standalone line item; most recent solicitations tag fasteners as subordinate components within broader metals, hardware, or facilities-services contracts rather than as primary scope. State and local governments appear to buy screws predominantly through master service agreements or blanket-order arrangements that bundle fasteners with other repair and maintenance supplies.
