UNSPSC 31161701: Anchor nuts

UNSPSC 31161701 Anchor nuts is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect anchor nuts or fastening hardware procurement. The City of Lavonia, Georgia issued a sealed competitive bid (IFB) in April 2026 for a Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements project — a comprehensive construction and facility upgrade encompassing modifications to raw water pump stations, flash mixers, settling basins, filtration units, chemical feed systems, and clearwell storage tanks to increase treatment capacity to 3.0 million gallons per day. This is civil infrastructure construction work, not the procurement of anchor nuts or fastening products that the code's title suggests. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for anchor nuts as a standalone procurement item in state and local markets based on the available opportunities.

The single opportunity in the source spans two sites in Georgia — the main water treatment plant near Pleasant Hill Road in Lavonia and a raw water pump station approximately 14 miles away at Lake Hartwell — with a sealed bid deadline of May 26, 2026, and a pre-bid conference scheduled for May 7, 2026. The procurement requires a Georgia Utility Contractor license, compliance with prevailing wage standards under the Davis-Bacon Act, 4.0% disadvantaged business enterprise participation goals for minority-owned and women-owned businesses, and adherence to the Build America, Buy America Act for all materials. This mismatch between the code designation and the actual scope suggests that anchor nuts may appear as incidental materials within a larger construction project rather than as a targeted procurement category for state and local buyers in this period.
