UNSPSC 31161618: Threaded rod

UNSPSC 31161618 Threaded rod is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fastening hardware and related threaded components — hex bushings, threaded rods, bolts, cap screws, nuts, washers, and socket fasteners. Recent solicitations show purchasing of both individual components and broad-based fastener supply agreements serving maintenance, construction, and fleet operations. Issuing bodies include county governments and regional transit authorities; the Orange County Transportation Authority appears as a repeat buyer of bundled fastener supply contracts.

Activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250199 for threaded products and fasteners, due March 16, 2026, covering 154 line items across a three-year contract term valued at $150,000 with an estimated annual usage basis, North American manufacturing and Grade 8 high-strength compliance required, deliveries to two facilities (Garden Grove and Santa Ana), monthly scheduled delivery obligations, 48-hour response windows for urgent requests, and Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage compliance. Dallas County, Texas posted a shorter-duration component bid (solicitation 2100722) for hex bushings 1/4" x 1/2" black pipe on September 22, 2026, due September 25, 2026. The OCTA procurement emphasizes supply-chain responsiveness, inventory management, product compliance documentation, and multi-year pricing stability, signaling ongoing municipal infrastructure and vehicle maintenance demand.
