UNSPSC 31162014: Railroad spike or nail

A type of fastener used to connect metal to wood or concrete beams such as rails to railway ties.

UNSPSC 31162014 Railroad spike or nail is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The two recent opportunities posted under this code—the City of Madison Community Development Authority's concrete sidewalk removal and replacement project (IFB, due July 17, 2026), Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacements (sealed bid, due July 7, 2026), the City of Fairburn, Georgia pedestrian improvements project (IFB #26-012, due May 22, 2026), and the City of Tybee Island, Georgia marine science center restroom construction (ITB2026-108, due May 19, 2026)—involve concrete work, masonry, roofing, and site construction but do not require or specify railroad spikes or nails as a material component. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than an accurate reflection of the actual goods being procured under these construction contracts.

State and local procurement activity in this code tier remains minimal and does not represent a viable category for business development focus at this time.
