UNSPSC 31161601: Anchor bolts

UNSPSC 31161601 Anchor bolts (Commodity) describes fastening hardware used in structural assembly and infrastructure projects, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement of anchor bolts as standalone line items. The code appears primarily in infrastructure work where anchor bolts are specified as components of larger systems — transmission tower monopoles, guardrail systems, water treatment equipment, and structural steel fabrication — rather than as direct commodity purchases. State and local governments source anchor bolts as subordinate materials within competitive construction and equipment contracts managed by cities, counties, utilities, and state facilities departments, often obtained through general contractors or equipment vendors who bundle them with larger deliverables rather than through dedicated fastener solicitations.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Florida infrastructure projects. The Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida issued IFB 25081JG for transmission tubular steel poles on February 2, 2026, with a response date of January 13, 2026 (note: the due date predates the posting date in the source), explicitly requiring anchor bolts as part of the complete galvanized steel monopole structures. The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, solicited guardrail maintenance and repair services through ITB 26-040 with a March 20, 2026 response deadline, specifying Type W and Type T beam guardrail systems with anchorages and hardware as components. The City of Lavonia, Georgia, issued a sealed bid on April 24, 2026 for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements (due May 26, 2026) that includes modifications to multiple treatment systems where anchor bolts would be embedded in equipment specifications. The State of Georgia posted a one-time steel procurement (92100GCI0001084) on January 29, 2026, due February 9, 2026, for general structural steel suitable for cutting, forming, punching, and welding across construction projects. Anchor bolts do not appear as primary procurement targets in any of these solicitations but rather as embedded specifications within larger infrastructure contracts.
