UNSPSC 31161503: Drive screws

UNSPSC 31161503 Drive screws is a Commodity code that encompasses fasteners and hardware supplies used in construction, renovation, and facility maintenance projects. State and local procurement offices purchase drive screws as component materials within broader construction and maintenance contracts, particularly where painting, drywall installation, acoustical ceiling work, and flooring projects require fastening systems. The code appears in solicitations issued by state education agencies and their cooperative purchasing partners, which procure building materials and supplies for maintenance and renovation across school districts and educational facilities.

The Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), in partnership with Choice Partners cooperative purchasing, issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal (26021MR) on May 15, 2026 for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services under a Job Order Contracting structure with a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million. This HCDE/Choice Partners vehicle covers both time-and-materials maintenance work and coefficient-based JOC pricing, requiring vendors to supply materials, equipment, and labor. The solicitation closed May 15, 2026, with a tentative award date of July 15, 2026. Pre-proposal and training meetings were held in April 2026. Work is performed in Texas under prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act compliance where applicable, and the contract carries a 2 percent HCDE/CP administrative fee. The scope of recent activity under this code is narrow; only one recent state or local opportunity directly references the code or closely related fastener materials in a current solicitation.
