UNSPSC 31162109: Ground anchor

An anchor used to secure a civil work or construction structure into the ground foundation or base rock. The steel wire and the grout are used in general.

UNSPSC 31162109 Ground anchor, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized electrical hardware and fastening components sourced by state and local utilities and transit authorities — lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, clamps, and related assemblies for electrical distribution systems and infrastructure applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect purchasing by municipal electric utilities, regional transit systems, and highway safety programs. Lubbock Power & Light, a municipal utility in Texas, has posted multiple quote requests for ground rods, anchor bolts, couplers, and related electrical hardware, as well as frangible aluminum bases conforming to Texas Highway Department specifications for highway safety installations. Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) has solicited spare parts for train control grade crossing systems. These solicitations emphasize technical compliance with published standards, delivery performance as a deciding factor in vendor selection, and FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where Lubbock Power & Light issued competitive three-quote requests for electrical components (42 line items, due October 5, 2026) and aluminum frangible bases (due September 18, 2026), both with responses to designated municipal staff and firm price requirements of ten days minimum. Charlotte Area Transit System issued an invitation for bids on train control grade crossing spare parts with a September 14, 2026 deadline. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority has independently solicited male straight-blade 125V plugs (due July 31, 2026) under separate commodity coding. Procurement vehicles vary: Lubbock Power & Light uses direct quote requests through email or portal submission with item-by-item or all-or-none award authority; CATS and DART use formal IFB notice types. Texas Government Code compliance, non-discrimination provisions regarding firearm entities and energy company boycotts, and Material Safety Data Sheet requirements appear consistently across recent opportunities.
