UNSPSC 31161527: Hammerhead or T screw

A fastener with a T-shaped square neck.

UNSPSC 31161527 Hammerhead or T screw is a Commodity code that nominally identifies fasteners, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect fastener procurement. The most recent opportunities posted under this code are instead general-purpose commercial repair, maintenance, and specialty services — a significant mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual buying patterns. State and local buyers appear to be mis-tagging broad repair and facilities services under this fastener commodity code, rendering it unreliable for targeting procurement based on the code's stated product scope.

The City of Lubbock (Texas) issued an ITB on September 27, 2026 due October 20, 2026 for Commercial Trades & Repair Services and Commercial Specialty Services on an as-needed basis across City facilities, with plans to establish multiple contracts. Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) in Texas issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal on May 15, 2026 for Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring services through a Job Order Contracting framework, with a $200 million maximum annual aggregate contract price, prevailing wage requirements, and up to four one-year terms. Both opportunities come from Texas jurisdictions. Given the disconnect between the code's fastener nomenclature and the repair-services work actually being tagged and solicited, vendors targeting legitimate fastener supply should verify code application before submitting.
