UNSPSC 31161529: Jack screw

A mechanism that uses a long threaded rod to position a matching nut at any position along its length.

UNSPSC 31161529 Jack screw (Commodity) covers mechanical lifting and fastening equipment that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, equipment repair, and construction support work. The code appears in state and local solicitations primarily as part of broader commercial repair and specialty services frameworks rather than as a standalone line item. Recent opportunities show municipal and educational procurement bodies bundling jack screws with general trades and maintenance services under master-service or job-order-contracting vehicles.

The City of Lubbock posted an ITB (2619925SR) on September 27, 2026 due October 20, 2026 for Commercial Trades & Repair Services and Commercial Specialty Services on an as-needed basis, establishing multiple contracts to support operational needs across city facilities; the Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), in partnership with cooperative purchasing vehicle Choice Partners, issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal (26021MR) due 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 automatic one-year renewals, with a maximum annual aggregate contract price of $200 million across all awards. The HCDE solicitation required vendors to submit both time-and-materials labor pricing and coefficient multipliers against established unit-price books, evaluated on pricing (40 points), vendor reputation and work history (20 points), quality and project management (25 points), safety record (5 points), financial capability (5 points), and marketing plan (5 points), with prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance required. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with municipal and school-district procurement bodies using indefinite-quantity frameworks to source maintenance and repair services across facility portfolios.
