UNSPSC 31161619: Stud bolts

UNSPSC 31161619 Stud bolts is a Commodity code that encompasses fasteners and hardware components state and local governments procure for utility infrastructure, transportation systems, and traffic maintenance. The recent solicitations reveal that while the code nominally addresses stud bolts, state and local buying activity under this classification includes a broader range of fasteners, bolts, and hardware—lugs, anchor bolts, couplers, and general fastener assemblies—integrated into larger equipment and infrastructure projects. Kissimmee Utility Authority and Lubbock Power & Light (a municipal electric utility in Texas) are repeat buyers sourcing specialized fasteners and bolts for transmission infrastructure and electrical equipment. School districts, transit authorities, and state transportation departments have also posted hardware solicitations, though recent activity shows utility authorities and municipal utilities driving the majority of procurement volume in this category.

Activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with Kissimmee Utility Authority posting two separate transmission pole projects—IFB26038JG for the Simpson Road Relocation Project (bids closed June 30, 2026; estimated value $250,000 to $500,000 per Service Tier B) and IFB26042JG for the Marydia to Hansel 69kV Storm Hardening Project (bids due August 11, 2026)—both requiring tubular steel transmission structures and associated hardware. Lubbock Power & Light issued a three-quote competitive procurement (26-7017-ELD) due October 5, 2026, for 42 line items of electrical components including lugs, bolts, and fasteners with quantities ranging from 2 to 2,100 units per item. The Illinois Department of Transportation posted IFB 27-494DOT-FINAD-B-53545 (due October 20, 2026) for hardware items used in repairing and maintaining traffic signs within District 1, carrying a 2% Business Enterprise Program goal; delivery required within 30 business days of order receipt on F.O.B. destination terms. All recent solicitations emphasize firm or estimated fixed pricing, FOB destination shipping with freight included, and strict delivery compliance as material to contract performance.
