UNSPSC 31162006: Wire nails

UNSPSC 31162006 Wire nails is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local procurement under this code focuses on fastening materials used in construction projects, yet the recent opportunities posted carry no explicit reference to wire nail procurement. The sourced solicitations involve concrete sidewalk and pedestrian infrastructure work, bridge replacement, and restroom facility construction — all projects that would typically incorporate nails as incidental materials within broader construction scopes rather than as standalone procurement line items. State and local governments acquire wire nails through a mix of issuing bodies including city departments, county government, and municipal authorities, typically as part of material specifications embedded in larger construction contracts rather than through dedicated fastener solicitations.

Geographic spread across recent activity includes Florida, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with the Orange County, Florida bridge replacement project (estimated cost $6,202,246.05, bid due July 7, 2026) and the City of Fairburn, Georgia pedestrian improvements IFB (due May 22, 2026) representing the most recent concrete construction activity likely to incorporate nails as specified materials. The City of Madison Community Development Authority's Gay Braxton Apartments concrete sidewalk IFB (due July 17, 2026) and the City of Tybee Island restroom facility ITB (due May 19, 2026) round out the sample. However, none of these solicitations isolates wire nails as a distinct procurement category or identifies suppliers of fastening materials as the prime contractor — all treat nails as embedded material requirements within general construction scope. This pattern suggests that wire nail procurement under this code occurs primarily through specification-driven inclusion in construction RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs rather than through dedicated bid requests for fastener supply.
