UNSPSC 31161641: Taper shank bolt

A bolt with a tapered shank and flush or protruding head that uses an interference fit to perform self-locking and perhaps self-sealing functions.

UNSPSC 31161641 Taper shank bolt is a Commodity code that nominally designates fastening hardware, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for taper shank bolts or related fastening products. The code appears inactive in the recent state and local procurement record; the opportunities tagged under 31161641 include a Williamson County purchasing department relocation notice, a City of Milpitas general MRO supplies blanket purchase IFB, a Collin County Community College general industrial merchandise ITB, a Pasadena historic library window replacement project, and various industry events and vendor forums. None of these solicitations are purchasing taper shank bolts as a primary deliverable or even as a material line item. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being bought signals either a data-entry error in the tagging system or the code's dormancy in current state and local procurement.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities for taper shank bolts. Do not pursue this code without direct confirmation that a specific jurisdiction is actively soliciting this product through a posted notice.
