UNSPSC 31161813: Swivel washers

UNSPSC 31161813 Swivel washers is a Commodity code that covers industrial fastening hardware used across water infrastructure, transit, and municipal construction projects. State and local governments procure these components as parts of larger capital improvement programs, equipment assemblies, and maintenance operations—often in small, task-order quantities tied to specific projects or routine inventory replenishment. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (water treatment and pump stations), transit authorities managing fleet and infrastructure maintenance, and county-level public works departments. The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions with no single repeat buyer dominating recent solicitations.

Recent procurement activity spans Georgia and Texas. The City of Lavonia, Georgia, through Fayette County jurisdiction, issued a sealed competitive bid (PE66940NONST2026000000005, due May 26, 2026) for Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements, which encompasses a comprehensive facility upgrade to 3.0 million gallons per day capacity and includes raw water pump station modifications—work that would incorporate fastening components throughout the project. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) posted a purchase order (2097555, due January 28, 2026) for Washer Lock 7/16" Medium in packages of 100, reflecting routine procurement of individual fastening items for transit operations and maintenance. Both solicitations reflect standard state and local procurement processes—sealed bidding for capital construction and open competitive purchasing through online bidding portals for goods.
