UNSPSC 31161623: Cable bolt

Used in underground mining applications to support roof.

UNSPSC 31161623 Cable bolt is a Commodity code that captures specialized fastening and anchoring hardware used in construction, infrastructure, and equipment-assembly work. State and local governments buy cable bolts primarily for structural reinforcement, utility infrastructure (water treatment, electrical transmission), transportation safety systems (guardrails), and law enforcement equipment applications. The work being solicited under this code spans multiple sectors: water treatment plant upgrades that require structural bolting and anchoring systems; transmission line and utility pole installation; guardrail maintenance and replacement involving anchor bolts and hardware; and procurement frameworks for law enforcement equipment that include hardware components. Issuing bodies range across municipal water utilities, city transportation departments, state agencies, and regional utility authorities, with recent activity showing solicitations from the City of Lavonia, Georgia; City of Sandy Springs, Georgia; Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida; the State of Georgia; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle serving thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative frameworks. The City of Lavonia posted an IFB for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements (due May 26, 2026) that includes modifications to settling basins, filtration units, and chemical feed systems requiring extensive bolting and anchoring hardware. The City of Sandy Springs issued ITB 26-040 for guardrail maintenance and repair (due March 20, 2026) covering nine locations with removal and installation of Type W and Type T beam guardrail systems including anchorages, terminals, and hardware compliant with GDOT and FHWA standards. The Kissimmee Utility Authority solicited bids for transmission tubular steel poles (due December 23, 2025) requiring anchor bolts and structural components for a 230KV project. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle available to participating entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. The State of Georgia's one-time steel procurement (due February 9, 2026) targets material suitable for cutting, forming, punching, bending, and welding for various construction applications. Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, though cooperative purchasing frameworks expand reach nationally.
