UNSPSC 31161713: Hose nuts

UNSPSC 31161713 Hose nuts is a Commodity code identifying fastening components used in pressurized fluid systems. State and local governments procure hose nuts as component parts within broader construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects—typically bundled into material specifications for water treatment, wastewater, HVAC, hydraulic, and industrial piping assemblies rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span water utilities, public works departments, transit authorities, and facility maintenance programs across municipal and county jurisdictions.

The most recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation. The City of Lavonia, Georgia, issued an IFB (sealed competitive bid) on April 24, 2026, for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements with a May 26, 2026, deadline; the scope includes modifications to raw water pump stations, settling basins, filtration units, chemical feed systems, and clearwell storage tanks across two sites with a nine-month construction schedule. However, hose nuts do not appear as a called-out line item or specification in the posted opportunity summary—the procurement is structured as a general construction contract for which hose nuts are an incidental component material rather than a primary deliverable. Absent additional recent opportunities explicitly specifying hose nuts as a commodity purchase, the code shows little current activity as a direct procurement focus for state and local bodies. Contractors pursuing projects under broader water, wastewater, or utility infrastructure codes should expect hose nuts to be embedded within approved material or equipment submittals rather than as a separate bid line.
