UNSPSC 31162109 Ground anchor (Commodity) covers electrical connectors and fastening hardware that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, facility, and fleet maintenance. Recent activity shows the code being applied to broader electrical parts and supplies procurement, where ground anchors appear alongside plugs, connectors, and related components. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include city public works departments, municipal airports, and transit authorities; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) each posted solicitations in the first half of 2026. The work spans as-needed stocking arrangements for distributed electrical supplies across multiple city departments and facilities, as well as spot purchases of specific electrical components for transit operations.

Phoenix posted IFB 26-FMD-012 on March 24, 2026, seeking electrical parts and supplies from local stocking distributors on a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, with a pre-bid conference June 4, 2025, and offers due July 9, 2025; the contract covers components from 97 manufacturers and serves multiple city departments including Aviation at three airport locations. DART posted a purchase order solicitation (2097775) on January 29, 2026, for a male straight blade 125V plug with a bid deadline of February 5, 2026, requiring FOB Destination shipping and Net 30 payment terms. Arizona and Texas are the primary states showing recent activity under the code. The City of Phoenix procurement favors local vendors within a 25-mile radius and requires 48-hour delivery capability, reflecting municipal preferences for proximity and responsiveness in distributed electrical supplies contracting.
