UNSPSC 31162009: Fiber cement nail

A specialized fastener used to connect corrugated sheets (undulated plates of fiber cement). It is a thin nail with an elongated head.

UNSPSC 31162009 Fiber cement nail is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code—railroad spur track maintenance and repair (City of Dallas), concrete sidewalk replacement (City of Madison Community Development Authority), and bridge replacement (Orange County, Florida)—do not reflect purchases of fiber cement nails themselves. The Dallas opportunity solicits track inspection and maintenance services on an as-needed basis under a thirty-six-month ID/IQ agreement; the Madison opportunity requests concrete sidewalk removal and replacement including site preparation, concrete placement, and grading; and the Orange County opportunity requests sealed bids for emergency replacement of two bridges at an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05. None of these scopes explicitly identify fiber cement nails as a line item or primary deliverable, suggesting the code assignment may not reflect the actual commodity being procured or that nails are incidental fasteners within larger construction or repair contracts.

The issuing bodies represent city and county infrastructure departments across the South and Midwest, with recent activity in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. The Dallas and Madison solicitations are RFQ/IFB-type notices with response dates of November 13, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively; the Orange County opportunity is an IFB for emergency bridge work with an updated bid deadline of July 7, 2026 and Addendum #3 Revision posted June 17, 2026. The code shows no standout repeat buyers or concentrated procurement pattern, and the divergence between the code's nominal product and the work actually being solicited suggests this code warrants close sourcing review before pursuit—fiber cement nail suppliers should verify that opportunities tagged under this code genuinely require the product or whether the assignment reflects a mis-categorization in the issuing body's procurement system.
