UNSPSC 31162100: Anchors

UNSPSC 31162100 Anchors, a Class code, encompasses electrical components and supplies that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance purposes across their facilities and infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring electrical parts inventories, individual electrical components (plugs, connectors, switches), and stocking arrangements with distributors capable of rapid fulfillment. The issuing bodies include city public works departments, regional transit authorities, and airport operators. These entities typically structure procurements as either indefinite-quantity supply contracts with multiple manufacturers' products available on an as-needed basis, or as purchase orders for specific electrical components to replenish stock or replace worn parts.

The code shows activity in the Southwest and South, with the City of Phoenix Public Works Department and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posting recent solicitations. Phoenix issued IFB 26-FMD-012 in March 2026 for a three-year electrical parts and supplies contract commencing October 1, 2025, covering components from 97 manufacturers (Allen Bradley, Eaton, GE, Hubbell, Schneider Electric, Siemens) with a pre-offer conference on June 4, 2025 and sealed-bid deadline of July 9, 2025; the city requires local stocking distributors with 48-hour delivery capability and preference for vendors within 25 miles of central Phoenix. DART posted a straightforward purchase order on January 29, 2026 for a male straight blade 125V plug with a February 5, 2026 bid deadline, requiring FOB Destination terms with freight included and Net 30 payment. Neither solicitation specified set-aside designations or incumbent vendors.
