UNSPSC 31161735: Cage nut

A special kind of fastener that is used for square hole racks. It can be of several types: cylindrical, normal, to level out, clip or frontal assembly.

UNSPSC 31161735 Cage nut is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, sees minimal direct solicitation as a standalone product line. The single recent opportunity in the source—the City of Lavonia, Georgia water treatment plant improvements project (sealed competitive bid, due May 26, 2026)—is a large construction and engineering procurement for facility upgrades rather than a procurement explicitly targeting cage nuts as a primary commodity. Cage nuts, as fastening hardware used in industrial equipment assembly, would be incidental materials within broader mechanical or construction work; the Lavonia solicitation does not isolate them as a line item or focus procurement attention on them specifically. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunity suggests the code carries little decision-relevant state and local procurement activity, or that when cage nuts are purchased, they are bundled as components within larger equipment or construction contracts rather than solicited independently.

The geographic and issuing-body profile is too sparse to characterize meaningfully. The source reflects one opportunity from a Georgia municipality (City of Lavonia, operating under Fayette County jurisdiction) in a water infrastructure context. No pattern of repeat buyers, regional concentration, or consistent commodity-focused solicitation activity emerges from the available record. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as a low-activity or incidental-materials category and focus pursuit efforts on higher-tier codes that capture the integrated equipment, mechanical systems, or construction services within which cage nuts function as component parts.
