UNSPSC 31161619: Stud bolts

UNSPSC 31161619 Stud bolts is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity for fastener procurement. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve law enforcement equipment frameworks, water treatment plant construction, guardrail maintenance, transmission steel poles, and bulk steel materials — none of which center on stud bolts as a discrete procurement line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that stud bolts, when procured by state and local governments, may be embedded within larger construction or fabrication contracts rather than bought as standalone fastener commodities, or the code is receiving miscategorized opportunity postings.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Georgia (City of Lavonia water treatment upgrades, City of Sandy Springs guardrail maintenance), Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority transmission poles), Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing framework), and Minnesota-administered cooperative purchasing. Issuing bodies include municipalities, utility authorities, and state procurement offices, along with Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative serving participating jurisdictions across multiple states and Canada. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Lavonia's May 2026 IFB for water treatment plant construction improvements (sealed bid due May 26, 2026), the City of Sandy Springs' February 2026 ITB 26-040 for guardrail maintenance and repair (bid due March 20, 2026), and the Kissimmee Utility Authority's February 2026 IFB for transmission tubular steel poles (bid due December 23, 2025). No recent solicitations specifically targeting stud bolts procurement have been identified in the source material.
