UNSPSC 31161617: Wing bolts

UNSPSC 31161617 Wing bolts is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly aligned to its narrow scope. State and local governments procure fastening components like wing bolts as subordinate line items within larger construction, infrastructure, and equipment projects rather than as standalone solicitations. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect wing bolt procurement in isolation; instead, they cluster around law enforcement equipment frameworks, water treatment facility construction, guardrail maintenance, transmission steel structures, and structural steel — contexts where bolts and fasteners are embedded within broader scopes of work. Wing bolts and similar fastening hardware are typically specified as materials to be supplied by the prime contractor or equipment manufacturer as part of integrated systems, not as direct procurements by state and local agencies.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington-area counties and nationwide public entities), city governments (Lavonia, Georgia; Sandy Springs, Georgia), utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida), and state departments (State of Georgia). Geographic concentration appears in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, with one multi-jurisdictional cooperative posting covering Washington state and nationwide participants. Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) serving thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada through cooperative purchasing; the City of Lavonia's sealed bid for water treatment plant improvements (due May 26, 2026) requiring Davis-Bacon compliance and DBE participation goals; the City of Sandy Springs' ITB 26-040 for guardrail maintenance and repair (due March 20, 2026) across nine locations in Cobb County; and the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for transmission tubular steel poles on the Marydia to Taft 230KV project (bid due was December 23, 2025) with delivery between September and October 2026. The code shows minimal activity as a discrete procurement line item; vendors pursuing state and local work involving fasteners should focus on specification compliance within larger construction and equipment solicitations rather than standalone fastener contracts.
