UNSPSC 31161509: Drywall screws

UNSPSC 31161509 Drywall screws, a Commodity code, covers fasteners for gypsum wallboard installation and repair in state and local building projects. Recent solicitations show drywall screws appearing as line-item materials within larger interior renovation and water damage restoration contracts rather than as standalone procurement events. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's water damage repair project at Independent Plaza (IFB posted July 11, 2026, due August 6, 2026) specifies Type X drywall replacement across fifteen residential units alongside flooring, insulation, fixtures, and finishes, with drywall screws as embedded materials within the broader carpentry scope. The Harris County Department of Education's Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring cooperative purchasing contract (Competitive Sealed Proposal, proposal deadline May 15, 2026) includes drywall work as one of three service components and allows vendors to bid under job-order contracting using unit price books, positioning drywall materials as cost line items within coefficient-based pricing. Issuing bodies across recent opportunities include municipal housing authorities, county education agencies, and city procurement offices, typically bundling drywall fasteners into facilities maintenance, construction, and renovation RFPs or ITBs rather than requesting drywall screws as discrete commodities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The Alameda Housing Authority opportunity is located in the San Francisco Bay Area; the Harris County Department of Education cooperative covers school districts and educational entities across Texas and participating Choice Partners member jurisdictions. A re-bid of the Norwalk City Hall IT Room Upgrades (ITB, re-posted May 20, 2026, due June 16, 2026, with Addendum 1 issued June 9, 2026) shows no drywall scope and appears misaligned with the code's commodity classification, suggesting tagging inconsistency in the source data. Drywall screws do not appear as standalone procurement line items in the recent opportunities reviewed; they surface as materials embedded within turnkey restoration and facilities maintenance contracts where general contractors or drywall subcontractors procure fasteners to fulfil project specifications.
