UNSPSC 31161622: Shear bolt

Fastening device designed to provide a permanent one way fastening.

UNSPSC 31161622 Shear bolt is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of shear bolts or fastening hardware. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span law enforcement equipment frameworks, water treatment plant construction, guardrail maintenance and repair, transmission steel pole fabrication, and bulk steel material procurement—none of which center on shear bolts as a primary deliverable or line item. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or that shear bolts are incidental components within larger construction or equipment packages rather than the primary procured good.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (City of Lavonia water treatment plant improvements, City of Sandy Springs guardrail maintenance), Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority transmission poles), Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative for law enforcement equipment), and multi-state cooperative vehicles. Recent solicitations include the City of Sandy Springs ITB 26-040 for guardrail maintenance and repair (response deadline March 20, 2026), the City of Lavonia sealed competitive bidding for water treatment plant improvements (response deadline May 26, 2026), Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide (response deadline June 16, 2026), and the Kissimmee Utility Authority IFB for transmission tubular steel poles (response deadline December 23, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity directly tied to shear bolt procurement; business development professionals should verify accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
