UNSPSC 31161700: Nuts

UNSPSC 31161700 Nuts, a Class code, covers fastener consumables that state and local governments procure for transit operations, facility maintenance, and equipment repair. Recent activity shows strong demand from transit authorities and state departments for nuts in various grades and sizes—Grade 8 nuts, elastic stop nuts, hex nuts, and suspension springs—typically purchased in boxes or packages of 25 to 100 units. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has posted multiple opportunities in January and February 2026 for individual nut and fastener items, indicating routine replenishment buying cycles. Beyond transit, the California Department of Food and Agriculture has solicited shear pin bolts and nuts as part of snowblower procurement (May 2026). Issuing bodies include transit authorities (DART), state departments (CDFA), and county governments (Riverside County), with no dominant repeat buyer across the sample but DART showing the highest frequency.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California, with DART's January 2026 opportunities for elastic stop nuts (Feb 5 deadline), 5/16" washers (Jan 29 deadline), M8 fasteners and suspension springs (Jan 28 deadline), and 9/16"-18 Grade 8 nuts (Jan 28 deadline) anchoring Texas procurement. California saw the CDFA's May 13–June 4, 2026 solicitation for snowblower hardware including shear pin bolts restricted to certified Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Riverside County issued an RFB for Cla-Val parts (due Feb 13, 2026) with limited detail. DART requires FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, Net 30 payment terms, BONFIRE registration for submission, and strict delivery compliance. The code shows active low-value consumable buying with tight response windows (typically 7–14 days) and no disclosed budget ranges, suggesting small-order replenishment cycles rather than major capital projects.
