UNSPSC 31162110: Self-drilling plastic anchor

Plastic anchors provide drop installation security when attaching wood and tapping screws into masonry, wallboard, or concrete.

UNSPSC 31162110 Self-drilling plastic anchor (Commodity) covers electrical connectors and fastening components that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and operational equipment support. Recent solicitations show the code applied to electrical parts and supplies broadly—including plugs, connectors, and ancillary electrical components—purchased on an as-needed basis by cities, transit authorities, and airport operators to support maintenance across multiple departments and facilities. Issuing bodies range from municipal public works departments to regional transit authorities; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) both posted opportunities in the recent window. Solicitations are structured as open inventory contracts (multi-year terms with extension options and no guaranteed volumes) and spot purchases, with vendors expected to stock items locally and deliver within days to meet operational demand.

Recent activity spans the Southwest and Texas. The City of Phoenix posted IFB 26-FMD-012 on March 24, 2026, for electrical parts and supplies across three years (with two optional one-year extensions) commencing October 1, 2025, requiring local stocking distributors within a 25-mile radius of central Phoenix to support Aviation Department procurement for multiple airports; the sealed-bid deadline was July 9, 2025. DART issued a spot purchase order (Solicitation 2097775) on January 29, 2026, for a male straight blade 125V plug with a February 5, 2026 response deadline and FOB Destination shipping required. Both solicitations emphasize rapid delivery capability (48-hour turnaround in Phoenix, critical delivery timelines for DART) and compliance with local procurement terms and conditions, including nondiscrimination standards and payment schedules (Phoenix uses city council award; DART uses Net 30 terms).
