UNSPSC 31161518: Socket screw

UNSPSC 31161518 Socket screw is a Commodity code that captures fastener components state and local governments procure as consumables and repair supplies for facility maintenance, building trades, and equipment repair work. Recent solicitations show socket screws being obtained as part of broader commercial repair, maintenance, and specialty-services contracts rather than as standalone fastener purchases. The City of Lubbock and Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) have issued ITBs and Competitive Sealed Proposals for painting, drywall, acoustical ceilings, flooring, and general commercial trades work — categories in which socket screws and similar hardware are incidental supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal governments (cities) and county education departments procuring on behalf of multiple member entities through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Choice Partners.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the City of Lubbock issued an ITB (Solicitation ITB2619925SR / 2619925SR) posted September 27, 2026 with a response deadline of October 20, 2026 for Commercial Trades & Repair Services and Commercial Specialty Services on an as-needed basis across City facilities, and HCDE issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal (Solicitation 26021MR) posted May 15, 2026 for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services with a maximum annual aggregate contract value of $200 million across all awards. Neither opportunity explicitly names socket screws or fasteners as a discrete line item; the code appears to capture hardware components absorbed within broader facility-maintenance and trades contracts rather than standalone fastener procurement.
