UNSPSC 31161507: Tapping screws

UNSPSC 31161507 Tapping screws, a Commodity code, describes fasteners that state and local governments buy as consumable components for facility maintenance, repairs, and construction work across diverse operational settings. Recent solicitations show these screws being procured as part of broader commercial repair and maintenance services contracts, where they serve as line-item materials within job-order-contracting frameworks and time-and-materials engagements rather than as standalone fastener purchases. The issuing bodies include municipal governments and regional education authorities, with activity concentrated among city facilities departments and school district cooperative purchasing consortia that bundle multiple facility-maintenance trade categories into consolidated service agreements.

The City of Lubbock, Texas issued an ITB for commercial repair, maintenance, and specialty services with proposals due October 20, 2026 (Solicitation ITB2619925SR), establishing multiple master-service agreements for operational needs across municipal facilities where tapping screws would serve as consumable repair materials. The Harris County Department of Education and its cooperative purchasing partner Choice Partners issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal (Solicitation 26021MR) in May 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 across all awards, with an initial one-year term and up to three automatic renewals. Texas shows recent activity under the code, with procurement flowing through both municipal and education-sector channels using cooperative purchasing vehicles and indefinite-quantity frameworks where fasteners support broader facility maintenance operations.
