UNSPSC 31161503: Drive screws

UNSPSC 31161503 Drive screws is a Commodity code encompassing fasteners used across state and local facility maintenance and repair operations. State and local governments buy drive screws as component materials in broader commercial trades work — painting, drywall installation, acoustical ceiling work, flooring, and general facility repairs — rather than as standalone procurement items. The scope is incidental to larger service contracts where fasteners are specified as needed materials within labor-intensive scope.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies across cities and county education agencies. The City of Lubbock issued an ITB (ITB2619925SR) on September 27, 2026 for Commercial Trades & Repair Services and Commercial Specialty Services on an as-needed basis, with proposals due October 20, 2026; the notice does not specify contract value or term. The Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), operating through cooperative purchasing partner Choice Partners, posted a Competitive Sealed Proposal (26021MR) on May 15, 2026 for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services under a Job Order Contracting (JOC) framework with an initial one-year term and up to three automatic one-year renewal options. The HCDE solicitation set a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million across all awards and required vendors to submit both time-and-materials pricing for maintenance work and coefficient multipliers for unit-price-book-based JOC pricing; a pre-proposal meeting and unit price book training were held April 15, 2026, with questions due May 8, 2026. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, where both the Lubbock and Harris County postings originate.
