UNSPSC 31161714: Insert nuts

UNSPSC 31161714 Insert nuts is a Commodity code that captures fasteners and mechanical connectors used in water infrastructure, municipal utilities, and facility construction projects. State and local governments procure insert nuts as component materials within larger construction and renovation initiatives—the nuts appear as line items or bulk materials specified in project bills of materials rather than as standalone procurement objects. Recent solicitations show insert nuts appearing as part of comprehensive water treatment facility upgrades, pump station modifications, and mechanical system installations where stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialized alloys are required for corrosion resistance and structural integrity in wet environments.

The City of Lavonia, Georgia issued a sealed competitive bid (PE66940NONST2026000000005) on April 24, 2026 for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements, with responses due May 26, 2026. The project encompasses modifications to the raw water pump station at Lake Hartwell and upgrades to the main treatment facility including new flash mixers, settling basin systems, filtration unit renovations, chemical feed systems, and clearwell storage tank modifications, with a nine-month construction schedule and approximately $500 per-day liquidated damages for delays. The procurement is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act sourcing mandates, and disadvantaged business enterprise goals of 4.0% minority and women-owned business participation. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 7, 2026, with written contractor questions due by May 12, 2026. This appears to be the primary recent state and local activity tagged to this code; the source provides no additional opportunities or geographic spread across multiple states or issuing bodies.
