UNSPSC 31161711: Eye nuts

UNSPSC 31161711 Eye nuts is a Commodity code that describes fastening hardware used in construction, mechanical assembly, and infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure eye nuts as components within larger construction and maintenance contracts, where they function as lifting lugs, attachment points, or load-bearing fasteners in water treatment facilities, structural work, mechanical systems, and utility infrastructure. The code sees activity from municipal water and wastewater authorities, city public works departments, and county facility maintenance operations, typically embedded within sealed-bid construction or renovation solicitations rather than as standalone material purchases.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in the Southeast, with the City of Lavonia, Georgia (operating under Fayette County jurisdiction) issuing a sealed competitive bid (IFB) on April 24, 2026, due May 26, 2026, for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements. That project encompasses a comprehensive facility upgrade including modifications to raw water pump stations, flash mixers, settling basins, filtration units, and clearwell storage tanks across two sites, with a nine-month construction schedule and prevailing wage and Build America, Buy America compliance requirements. Eye nuts appear as component hardware within that scope rather than as a primary procurement line item. The code shows limited recent standalone solicitation activity; opportunities are predominantly embedded within larger infrastructure contracts where fastening hardware specifications drive the UNSPSC coding. Pre-bid conference was scheduled for May 7, 2026, with written questions due May 12, 2026.
