UNSPSC 31161502: Anchor screws

UNSPSC 31161502 Anchor screws, a Commodity code, encompasses fastening hardware used in building construction, maintenance, and fixture installation work across state and local infrastructure projects. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand for fasteners as incidental materials within larger construction and renovation contracts rather than as standalone procurement focuses. The Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and its cooperative purchasing partner Choice Partners issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services (Solicitation 26021MR, due May 15, 2026) structured as a Job Order Contracting (JOC) vehicle with an initial one-year term and up to three automatic renewal options. Under this framework, anchor screws and similar fasteners would be procured by contractors as part of material submissions against coefficient multipliers applied to established unit price books.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, with HCDE's JOC solicitation representing a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle available to school districts and other eligible members across the state. The solicitation establishes a $200 million annual aggregate ceiling with multiple potential awards, prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance requirements, and evaluation weighted 40 percent on pricing, 25 percent on quality and project management, 20 percent on reputation and work history, and the remainder on safety, financial capability, and marketing. A pre-proposal meeting and unit price book training were scheduled for April 15, 2026, with the Q&A deadline set for May 8, 2026 and tentative award on July 15, 2026. No set-aside restrictions or disadvantaged-enterprise designations were specified.
