UNSPSC 31161723: Nutplate nuts

UNSPSC 31161723 Nutplate nuts is a Commodity code that nominally covers fastener hardware, yet the recent state and local activity tagged to this code shows a mismatch: the sole recent opportunity is a water treatment plant construction project. The City of Lavonia, Georgia posted an IFB (sealed competitive bid) on April 24, 2026, for comprehensive modifications to its Water Treatment Plant to increase capacity to 3.0 million gallons per day, including work at a raw water pump station 14 miles away. The scope encompasses installation of new flash mixers, modifications to settling basins and filtration units, chemical feed system upgrades including powder-activated carbon systems, and clearwell tank modifications. The project is substantial—nine months of construction work across two sites with a 270-day contract schedule and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. Qualified bidders must hold a Georgia Utility Contractor license, employ a certified Utility Manager, and comply with federal work authorization verification. This code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the single opportunity posted does not align with nutplate fastener procurement and instead reflects a municipal water infrastructure construction solicitation that appears to have been miscoded.

The City of Lavonia IFB closed May 26, 2026, with a pre-bid conference held May 7, 2026. The project is partially funded through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority State Revolving Fund and subject to the Build America, Buy America Act, requiring domestic sourcing of iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials unless a waiver is approved. Contractors must submit a 5% bid bond and, if selected, provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount. The procurement includes 4.0% participation goals for minority-owned and women-owned businesses. No additional state or local opportunities under this code appear in the recent posting history, indicating minimal marketplace activity for nutplate nut procurement at the state and local level during this period.
