UNSPSC 31161617: Wing bolts

UNSPSC 31161617 Wing bolts (Commodity) encompasses fasteners and hardware components used across state and local utility, transportation, and infrastructure operations, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this code span tubular steel transmission poles for utility storm-hardening projects, inner rings for transit authority component inventory, general traffic hardware for state transportation departments, and mixed electrical equipment and fasteners for municipal utilities. Issuing bodies include utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), transit agencies (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), state transportation departments (Illinois Department of Transportation), municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state public sector networks (Sourcewell on behalf of counties and agencies across Washington and nationally). Work is typically procured on fixed-price or competitive-quote bases with delivery and quality standards strictly enforced; payment terms range from Net 30 to post-inspection processing, and bidders frequently must meet insurance, bonding, and compliance requirements including BEP utilization plans or DBE participation goals where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Illinois. Kissimmee Utility Authority posted two IFBs for tubular steel transmission poles—IFB 26-042-JG (Marydia to Hansel 69kV Storm Hardening Project, bids due August 11, 2026, with eight structures ranging 80–110 feet) and IFB 26-038-JG (Simpson Road Relocation Project, closed June 30, 2026, with four bidders submitting responses and estimated contract value of $250,000 to $500,000).
