UNSPSC 31161500: Screws

UNSPSC 31161500 Screws, a Class code, nominally covers fasteners, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect fastener procurement. Instead, the three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve IT infrastructure upgrades and building services contracting — City of Norwalk (Connecticut) IT room upgrades and Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) painting, drywall, acoustical ceiling, and flooring services through a Job Order Contracting (JOC) vehicle. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work being solicited, suggesting either tagging error in the source procurement records or a vendor-classification anomaly in the underlying taxonomy. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (City of Norwalk) and county education departments (HCDE), with no pattern of repeat activity under the code itself.

The code shows recent activity in Connecticut and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Norwalk re-bid for City Hall IT Room Upgrades (Solicitation 4501RNORWALK, ITB, due June 16, 2026) and HCDE's Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring JOC-IDIQ (Solicitation 26021MR, Competitive Sealed Proposal, due May 15, 2026, with a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million across all awards). The City of Norwalk also posted an earlier iteration of the IT room upgrades solicitation (4501NORWALK, due March 17, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's fastener scope and the actual work being procured, firms pursuing state and local opportunities should verify coding accuracy in RFP/ITB databases rather than relying on this code alone to identify relevant solicitations.
