UNSPSC 31161622: Shear bolt

Fastening device designed to provide a permanent one way fastening.

UNSPSC 31161622 Shear bolt is a Commodity code that covers fastening hardware used across utility infrastructure, transmission systems, and municipal maintenance operations. State and local governments procuring under this code are acquiring bolts, fasteners, and related hardware components embedded in larger equipment orders and infrastructure projects—notably transmission poles, electrical systems, water treatment facility modifications, and traffic control infrastructure. The code appears alongside broader electrical and construction procurements rather than as a standalone product line; recent activity shows shear bolts and similar fasteners tagged within solicitations for transmission structures, electrical components, and traffic hardware where fasteners are specification items within larger system purchases.

Kissimmee Utility Authority has emerged as a repeat buyer, posting two transmission-structure IFBs in recent months (Simpson Road Relocation Project IFB 26-038-JG, closed June 30, 2026, estimated value $250,000 to $500,000; Marydia to Hansel 69kV Storm Hardening Project IFB 26-042-JG, due August 25, 2026). Illinois Department of Transportation issued IFB 27-494DOT-FINAD-B-53545 for District 1 hardware items supporting traffic sign repair and maintenance, with a 2% Business Enterprise Program goal, bids due October 20, 2026. Lubbock Power & Light in Texas solicited specialized electrical components and fasteners (procurement 26-7017-ELD, three-quote process, due October 5, 2026) including lugs, bolts, and ground rods with line-item quantities ranging from 2 to 2,100 units. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a bid for inner rings (solicitation 2100959, due October 15, 2026) requiring FOB Destination terms. Activity concentrates in Florida (Kissimmee), Texas (Lubbock, Dallas), Illinois (IDOT District 1), and Washington-state cooperative purchasing frameworks; geographic spread reflects utility and transportation authority procurement scattered across multiple states rather than concentrated in a single region.
