UNSPSC 31161525: Screw for plastic

A specialized fastener for connecting plastic materials.

UNSPSC 31161525 Screw for plastic is a Commodity code that captures fasteners used in construction, maintenance, and facility-management work. The recent state and local activity under this code, however, shows a substantial mismatch: the single posted opportunity tags a Competitive Sealed Proposal for painting, drywall, acoustical ceiling, and flooring services—work that incorporates screws as incidental materials within broader labor-intensive scope—rather than procurement of screws as a distinct product line. State and local governments buy plastic screws as components in facility repairs, assembly work, and construction, but the code appears to see limited dedicated solicitation activity at the state and local level.

The Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), working through its cooperative purchasing vehicle Choice Partners (CP), issued solicitation 26021MR on May 15, 2026, as an RFP for painting, drywall, acoustical ceiling, and flooring services under a Job Order Contracting structure. The contract carries a maximum annual aggregate price of $200 million across multiple awards, a one-year initial term with up to three automatic one-year renewals, and requires vendor compliance with prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act requirements. The proposal deadline was May 15, 2026, with a tentative award date of July 15, 2026. No other recent opportunities tagged to this code appear in the source block, suggesting that dedicated plastic-fastener procurement does not generate frequent standalone solicitations in state and local markets; most purchasing occurs as part of broader materials lists under general construction, maintenance, or facilities-management contracts.
