UNSPSC 31161636: Welding bolt

A bolt that has an external screw. The screw part has small protrusions above and below the head for welding.

UNSPSC 31161636 Welding bolt (Commodity) comprises fasteners and consumables used in industrial welding operations, though recent state and local activity under this code does not align with the commodity's nominal scope. The solicitations tagged to this code instead cover major equipment procurement and construction services wholly unrelated to welding bolts—specifically diesel-driven welder/generators and comprehensive water treatment plant upgrades. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code designation does not reflect the work actually being bought under it in state and local markets.

The two most recent opportunities show activity from North Texas Municipal Water District (posting July 9, 2026, for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generators with a response deadline of July 29, 2026) and the City of Lavonia, Georgia (posting April 24, 2026, for water treatment plant construction and upgrades due May 26, 2026). Geographic representation is limited to Texas and Georgia based on the available record. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with fastening or welding bolt procurement. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities coded to 31161636 in target jurisdictions address actual welding bolt purchases or reflect systemic miscoding, as the current record provides no signal of active state and local demand for the commodity as named.
