UNSPSC 31161627: Bolt assembly

A mechanism consisting of a threaded bolt with various head configurations and including other components such as sleeves, expansion devices, etc.

UNSPSC 31161627 Bolt assembly is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fastening hardware—nuts, bolts, washers, and assembled fastener packages—for infrastructure repair, equipment installation, and construction projects. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a mismatch between the nominal commodity scope and the actual work being solicited: Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 (issued on behalf of Minnesota and multiple Washington counties) targets law enforcement equipment broadly; the City of Lavonia, Georgia's sealed-bid solicitation for water treatment plant improvements encompasses structural modifications, equipment upgrades, and site work; the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia's ITB 26-040 seeks guardrail maintenance and replacement services including beam systems and anchorages; the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for transmission tubular steel poles covers monopole design, fabrication, and delivery; and the State of Georgia's IFB 92100GCI0001084 procures bulk steel stock for cutting, forming, punching, bending, and welding. None of these opportunities explicitly names bolt assembly or fastener procurement as the primary deliverable. The code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its nominal scope.

Issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block span cooperative purchasing authorities (Sourcewell on behalf of state and county units), municipal utilities (City of Lavonia water authority, Kissimmee Utility Authority), city transportation departments (Sandy Springs), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with Georgia and Florida each represented multiple times and Washington state participation through Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional cooperative. Representative solicitations include the City of Lavonia's May 26, 2026 sealed-bid deadline for water treatment plant modifications (requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and DBE participation goals of 4.0%), Sandy Springs' March 20, 2026 ITB deadline for guardrail maintenance and repair with a five-year on-call option, and Kissimmee Utility Authority's transmission pole procurement with September–October 2026 delivery. The structural mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the work actually being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged on these opportunities or that bolt assembly procurement under this code does not currently drive material state and local activity.
