UNSPSC 31162207: Compression rivets

UNSPSC 31162207 Compression rivets is a Commodity-tier code covering fastening hardware used in assembly and structural work across state and local infrastructure, equipment manufacturing, and facility maintenance projects. State and local governments procure compression rivets primarily through maintenance and construction contracts where riveted assemblies are specified—typically as line items in larger RFQs or IFBs for equipment repair, aircraft or aerospace component work, or structural fabrication. The code captures both blind rivets (set without access to the rear) and solid rivets installed with pneumatic or hydraulic tools, ordered by specification, diameter, length, material (aluminum, steel, copper), and quantity. Issuing bodies include state transportation and public works departments, county facilities and maintenance offices, municipalities managing water systems and public buildings, and transit authorities maintaining rolling stock and infrastructure.

The recent state and local contract opportunities block contains no posted solicitations for this code. This reflects the commodity's typical procurement pattern: compression rivets are almost universally sourced as subordinate line items within larger RFQs for equipment overhaul, vehicle maintenance, or construction services rather than as standalone solicitations. Buyers specify rivets by engineering drawing or approved fastener standard (AN, MS, DIN) within a multi-item purchase order or service contract. To surface opportunities in this code, monitor RFQs and IFBs from state departments of transportation, county public works offices, municipal facilities departments, and regional transit authorities for assembly, fabrication, or maintenance work; rivets will appear as specified fasteners within those broader procurements.
