UNSPSC 31161623: Cable bolt

Used in underground mining applications to support roof.

UNSPSC 31161623 Cable bolt, a Commodity code, nominally names a fastening component, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with cable bolts as such. The opportunities instead cover transmission poles, electrical hardware, traffic sign materials, and water treatment plant construction—none of which center on cable bolts as a discrete procurement item. Kissimmee Utility Authority has posted two IFBs for tubular steel transmission poles (Simpson Road Relocation Project and Marydia to Hansel 69kV Storm Hardening Project), each specifying structures 80 to 110 feet in length with fixed-price procurement, delivery by mid-2027, and freight listed separately. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicited inner rings (part number 2100959) under competitive quote, while Lubbock Power & Light requested quotes for a mixed lot of lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, and cables totaling 42 line items. The Illinois Department of Transportation issued an IFB for hardware items for traffic sign repair and maintenance within District 1, subject to a 2% Business Enterprise Program goal and 180-day price-firm requirement. The code shows no coherent commodity focus; misalignment between the code label and actual procurement scope suggests that either the code assignment is incorrect or the code name no longer reflects what state and local buyers are sourcing under it.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority), Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority and Lubbock Power & Light), Illinois (IDOT), and Georgia (City of Lavonia water treatment construction), with issuing bodies including municipal utilities, transit authorities, state departments of transportation, and city governments. Kissimmee Utility Authority appears twice in the dataset, indicating repeat buyer status for transmission infrastructure. No opportunities show explicit cable-bolt procurement; the code exhibits low decision relevance for vendors specializing in that commodity. The most recent bid closure occurred June 30, 2026 (Simpson Road project, four bidders: American Wire Group LLC, TAPP Inc, Gresco Utility Supply, and Superior Power Products LLC), with current activity concentrated in utility and transportation infrastructure rather than fastener supply.
