UNSPSC 31161621: Elevator bolts

UNSPSC 31161621 Elevator bolts is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve tubular steel transmission poles, electrical components and fasteners for utility infrastructure, traffic sign hardware, and water treatment plant construction—none of which are elevator bolts. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source procurement systems or a misallocation of the UNSPSC code in the postings reviewed. State and local buying under this code shows no relevant recent activity tied to the commodity's intended scope.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the misaligned records span utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Lubbock Power & Light), state departments of transportation (Illinois Department of Transportation), municipalities (City of Lavonia, Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating public entities). Geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Washington, and Minnesota. Representative recent solicitations include Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB 26-042-JG for tubular steel transmission poles (Marydia to Hansel 69kV Storm Hardening Project, response due August 11, 2026); IDOT's IFB 27-494DOT-FINAD-B-53545 for District 1 traffic sign hardware under a 2% Business Enterprise Program goal (response due October 20, 2026); and Lubbock Power & Light's three-quote procurement 26-7017-ELD for electrical equipment including bolts and fasteners (response due October 5, 2026). The code shows no procurement activity actually targeting elevator bolts.
