UNSPSC 31161511: Locking screws

UNSPSC 31161511 Locking screws is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity on record. The single available opportunity—Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and Choice Partners (CP) Competitive Sealed Proposal 26021MR for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services (posted May 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026)—solicits integrated facilities maintenance and job-order contracting services for interior construction and finishing work, not fasteners or hardware. The code appears to see minimal or no relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement marketplace. Without additional opportunities tagged under 31161511 in the source, characterization of issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or the actual scope of work being purchased under the code is not supported.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (locking screws) and the single available opportunity suggests either a classification error in the state or local system that posted the opportunity, or extremely sparse activity under this Commodity code in the jurisdictions and time period covered by the source. Firms pursuing fastener or hardware supply contracts to state and local bodies should verify current market activity through direct solicitation monitoring rather than rely on this code as a primary search filter.
