UNSPSC 31161907: Extension springs

UNSPSC 31161907 Extension springs (Commodity) covers mechanical fastening and coupling components that state and local governments procure as components within larger assemblies and equipment systems. Recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal; the single recent opportunity shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 seeking law enforcement equipment — a broad category that may or may not include extension springs as discrete line items or components. The solicitation does not indicate whether springs are being procured as standalone products, as part of pre-assembled equipment, or at all. Without clearer evidence of recent demand for extension springs as a distinct commodity, this code shows little actionable recent activity for state and local market pursuit.

The single opportunity spans a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle advertised under Washington law and encompassing at least five named Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) plus numerous other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell accepted proposals through its procurement portal through June 16, 2026. No set-asides, incumbent vendors, or award values were identified in available documentation. The lack of recent opportunities specifically identifying extension springs as a procured commodity, combined with the ambiguity around whether the law enforcement equipment solicitation includes springs as a material component, suggests this code warrants close monitoring rather than immediate pursuit.
