UNSPSC 31161734: Slotted round nut

A type of fastener round in shape with a slot in its main diameter.

UNSPSC 31161734 Slotted round nut is a Commodity code that captures individual fastener products used across state and local construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects. The recent solicitation activity tagged under this code does not reflect procurement of slotted round nuts as discrete line items; instead, the code appears to have been applied to a broad water treatment plant construction project that would incorporate fasteners as incidental materials within a much larger scope of structural, mechanical, and control-system work. State and local issuing bodies that do solicit fasteners under higher-tier UNSPSC families typically include municipal utilities, public works departments, transportation authorities, and maintenance divisions, though the Commodity code itself shows limited independent activity in the recent opportunities block.

The City of Lavonia, Georgia, issued a sealed competitive IFB (PE66940NONST2026000000005) on April 24, 2026, for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The project encompasses treatment capacity upgrades to 3.0 million gallons per day, including modifications to the raw water pump station, installation of new flash mixer and mixing basin, settling basin renovations with plate settler systems, filtration unit renovations, and chemical feed system upgrades across two sites near Lavonia and at Lake Hartwell. A pre-bid conference was scheduled for May 7, 2026, with written questions due by May 12, 2026. The procurement specifies a 270-day construction schedule with $500 per-day liquidated damages, Georgia Utility Contractor licensing, certified Utility Manager employment, prevailing wage compliance, and 4.0% DBE participation goals for minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Georgia Environmental Finance Authority State Revolving Fund and Build America, Buy America Act requirements apply. The tagline of slotted round nuts under this infrastructure project highlights a common state and local procurement practice: broad UNSPSC classification of bundled construction work that incorporates fasteners as incidental materials rather than primary procurement objects.
