UNSPSC 31162001: Brads

UNSPSC 31162001 Brads is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally covers brad fasteners—thin, short nails typically used in trim and finishing work—yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code involve concrete sidewalk removal and replacement, bridge replacement, pedestrian improvements with sidewalk and curb installation, and restroom facility construction. These projects require general and specialized construction contracting, not fastener procurement. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the issuing bodies or an obsolete code assignment in the procurement systems managing these solicitations.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span city and county governments, including the City of Madison Community Development Authority (Wisconsin), Orange County (Florida), the City of Fairburn (Georgia), and the City of Tybee Island (Georgia). Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, with activity in Florida and Georgia, and include an IFB from Madison for concrete sidewalk work (due July 17, 2026), a sealed-bid RFQ from Orange County for emergency bridge replacements estimated at $6,202,246.05 (due July 7, 2026), an IFB from Fairburn for pedestrian improvements including sidewalk and lighting (due May 22, 2026), and an ITB from Tybee Island for restroom facility construction (due May 19, 2026). Because the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual procurement scope, pursue opportunities on their individual merits rather than relying on the UNSPSC taxonomy to signal relevant activity.
