UNSPSC 31161510: Captive screw

UNSPSC 31161510 Captive screw is a Commodity code that describes threaded fastening components used in repair, maintenance, and construction work across state and local facilities. Recent state and local solicitations tag this code alongside broader commercial trades and repair services, but the posted opportunities do not isolate captive screws as a discrete line item or procurement focus. The City of Lubbock issued an ITB on September 27, 2026 (response due October 20, 2026) for Commercial Trades & Repair Services and Commercial Specialty Services on an as-needed, multiple-award basis to support facility operations across city properties, and the Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), in partnership with Choice Partners, issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal on May 15, 2026 for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services under a Job Order Contracting model with an initial one-year term and up to three automatic renewals. Neither opportunity explicitly names fasteners or hardware as a procurement category, and both frame work as general commercial repair or specialty trades rather than components.

The recent opportunities show activity in Texas, primarily through municipal and educational buyers. Issuing bodies include a city procurement office (Lubbock) and a cooperative purchasing vehicle anchored by a regional education service center (HCDE/Choice Partners). The code shows limited direct relevance to state and local procurement activity as currently posted; recent solicitations that reference this code center on labor and services (painting, drywall, flooring, general trades) rather than captive screws as a standalone product. If your firm supplies fasteners as a component within broader maintenance or repair contracts, this code may apply incidentally when subcontracted; direct procurement of captive screws under this Commodity code does not appear in the recent opportunities reviewed.
