UNSPSC 31162104: Screw anchors

UNSPSC 31162104 Screw anchors is a Commodity code that captures fastening and electrical connection hardware state and local governments buy for maintenance, repair, and construction work on public infrastructure and facilities. The recent solicitations show the code's scope includes not only anchors but also broader electrical parts and supplies — plugs, connectors, and related components — procured by cities, transit authorities, and airport systems for operations and upkeep. State and local issuing bodies range from city public works departments to regional transit authorities, with purchasing driven by routine operational needs and multi-year framework agreements rather than one-time acquisitions.

The City of Phoenix Public Works Department posted IFB 26-FMD-012 in March 2026 for a three-year electrical parts and supplies contract with two optional one-year extensions, requiring vendors to stock products from 97 manufacturers and deliver within 48 hours from locations within 25 miles of central Phoenix; the offer deadline was July 9, 2025. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) solicited bids for a male straight blade 125V plug (item 2097775) with a February 5, 2026 deadline, requiring FOB Destination shipping and Net 30 payment terms. Activity is concentrated in Texas and Arizona, with Phoenix and Dallas appearing as recent active procurers. The code shows modest but concrete state and local activity, with issuing bodies emphasizing rapid delivery capability and local stocking capacity as competitive factors.
