UNSPSC 31161605: Cylinder bolts

UNSPSC 31161605 Cylinder bolts is a Commodity code that captures fasteners and hardware components used across diverse state and local infrastructure, equipment, and construction projects. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span law enforcement equipment procurement, water treatment plant construction, transportation guardrail systems, transmission line infrastructure, and general-purpose steel fabrication — indicating that cylinder bolts are being procured as component parts or sub-assemblies rather than as standalone commodity purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city governments (Sandy Springs, Georgia; Lavonia, Georgia), special-purpose utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida), state departments (State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Minnesota). The geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, with Georgia and Florida accounting for the majority of recent solicitations, though the Sourcewell cooperative procurement spans Washington state and nationwide participating entities.

Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, which establishes a cooperative purchasing framework for equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada; the City of Lavonia, Georgia's sealed competitive bid for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements, due May 26, 2026, which includes cylinder bolts as fastening components for new equipment installations and modifications; the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia's ITB 26-040 for Guardrail Maintenance and Repair, due March 20, 2026, covering nine locations with Type W and Type T beam installations requiring structural fasteners; the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for transmission tubular steel poles, with a bid deadline of December 23, 2025, involving sixteen steel monopole structures with bolted connections; and the State of Georgia's one-time steel purchase, due February 9, 2026, for cutting, forming, and welding applications. No recent solicitation explicitly isolates cylinder bolts as the primary commodity; the code appears to capture secondary fastening requirements within larger construction and equipment procurement initiatives.
