UNSPSC 31162107: Nail expansion anchors

UNSPSC 31162107 Nail expansion anchors, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains five solicitations, none of which explicitly request expansion anchors; instead, the opportunities center on electrical components (lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, clamps), aluminum frangible bases for highway safety, train control grade crossing spare parts, U-bolt hardware for a herbicide truck, and male straight-blade electrical plugs. State and local issuing bodies appear to use this code as a catch-all for fasteners and hardware rather than as a precise category for expansion anchors specifically. The mix of buyers includes municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and other municipal departments.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with two quote requests from Lubbock Power & Light (Solicitation 267017ELD for electrical equipment and fasteners, due October 5, 2026; and Solicitation 267013ELD for aluminum frangible bases, due September 18, 2026) and one U-bolt hardware solicitation (Solicitation 601440000053855, due August 14, 2026). A transit authority bid from Charlotte Area Transit System (Solicitation 26920272053, due September 14, 2026) and a Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority quote (Solicitation 2100277 for electrical plugs, due July 31, 2026) add regional breadth but offer limited detail on scope or contract value. The code shows minimal recent procurement activity specifically for expansion anchors; the tagged opportunities reveal a mismatch between the UNSPSC category name and what is actually being bought under it.
