UNSPSC 31161612: Pin or collar bolts

UNSPSC 31161612 Pin or collar bolts is a Commodity code that encompasses fastening hardware used across utility infrastructure, electrical systems, and transportation equipment—bolts, lugs, and specialized connectors sourced by municipal utilities, transit authorities, and state transportation departments. The code shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; the opportunities posted under this designation span transmission pole procurement, inner rings for transit vehicles, traffic sign hardware, electrical components, and water treatment construction—a mismatch between the code tag and the work actually being bought that signals either miscoding in the state and local system or that pin and collar bolts represent incidental line items rather than the primary procurement focus. When bolts and fasteners do surface as material items, they appear within larger electrical or utility infrastructure buys rather than as standalone commodity acquisitions.

Recent solicitations come from utility authorities and state transportation departments in Florida, Texas, and Illinois. Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) posted two IFBs for tubular steel transmission poles under IFB 26-042-JG (response due August 11, 2026, now closed) and IFB 26-038-JG (closed June 30, 2026, with four bidders including American Wire Group LLC, TAPP Inc, Gresco Utility Supply, and Superior Power Products LLC; estimated value $250,000 to $500,000). Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) solicited inner rings (part number 2100959) via IFB 2100959 with response due October 15, 2026. Illinois Department of Transportation posted IFB 27-494DOT-FINADB53545 for District 1 traffic hardware with response due October 20, 2026, carrying a 2% Business Enterprise Program goal. Lubbock Power & Light issued a three-quote request (26-7017-ELD) for electrical components and fasteners due October 5, 2026. The geographic spread remains narrow—Florida, Texas, and Illinois account for the visible recent activity—with no broad multistate pattern evident.
