UNSPSC 31161511: Locking screws

UNSPSC 31161511 Locking screws, a Commodity code, covers threaded fasteners with integral locking mechanisms that state and local governments procure as components within broader facilities maintenance and repair service contracts. The code appears in solicitations bundling commercial repair, maintenance, and specialty services across municipal and educational facilities, where locking screws serve as materials supporting trades work rather than as standalone inventory procurements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities and education-affiliated procurement cooperatives that maintain facility infrastructure; locking screws are typically acquired as part of master-service agreements or indefinite-quantity contracts for maintenance labor and materials.

Recent activity shows solicitations from the City of Lubbock, Texas (ITB 2619925SR, due October 20, 2026) for commercial repair and maintenance services on an as-needed basis, and from Harris County Department of Education in partnership with Choice Partners cooperative (Solicitation 26021MR, closed May 15, 2026) for painting, drywall, acoustical ceilings, and flooring services under a job-order-contracting framework with an initial one-year term and up to three renewal options. The Harris County solicitation specifies a maximum annual aggregate of $200 million across all awarded vendors and requires compliance with prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon requirements. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas; no other states appear in the recent-opportunities block. The code shows limited direct procurement volume; state and local governments typically source locking screws as materials embedded in facility repair RFPs rather than as standalone component purchases.
