UNSPSC 31162013: Boat nail

A special kind of corrosion-resistant fastener designed for marine use in boat and ship building and repair.

UNSPSC 31162013 Boat nail is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span railroad spur maintenance, concrete sidewalk replacement, and bridge replacement — none of which involve boat nails as a primary procurement item. The City of Dallas issued an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity service agreement for track inspections and maintenance of railroad spur systems (due November 13, 2026), the City of Madison Community Development Authority solicited bids for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments with Davis-Bacon wage requirements and local vendor preference scoring (due July 17, 2026), and Orange County, Florida sought sealed bids for emergency replacement of two bridges with an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05 (due July 7, 2026). These solicitations suggest the code may be miscategorized or underutilized in recent state and local procurement systems; fasteners such as boat nails do not appear as the primary deliverable in any recent posting.

Activity is scattered across Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida with no pattern of repeat issuing bodies or geographic concentration. The mismatch between the code's product definition and the actual scope of recent solicitations indicates that state and local procurement offices are not actively using this code to solicit boat nails or related fastening products. Business development professionals should verify whether fastener procurement under this code routes through a different UNSPSC category, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or standing orders not captured in recent RFQ or IFB postings.
