UNSPSC 31162214: Semi tubular rivet

A type of rivet consisting of a shaft and head having nearly half of the length hollow. This hollow portion creates a tubular structure.

UNSPSC 31162214 Semi tubular rivet, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of semi-tubular fasteners — hollow rivets with a partial bore — used in structural assembly, machinery, and equipment fabrication across state and local operations. State and local governments procure these fasteners as component parts for maintenance, repair, and new construction of vehicles, infrastructure, and equipment; they appear in purchasing requisitions alongside other fastener families (solid rivets, blind rivets, specialty fasteners) as line items rather than as standalone solicitations. The buying bodies span state departments of transportation and maintenance, county facilities operations, municipal public works, and independent school districts managing vehicle fleets and building systems.

No recent state and local contract opportunities matching this code appear in the available record. The Commodity code sees minimal standalone procurement activity at the state and local level, as semi-tubular rivets are typically acquired through existing supply agreements, blanket purchase orders, or small-dollar maintenance and repair requisitions rather than formal RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs. Opportunities under this code, when they do surface, tend to be embedded within larger equipment or vehicle procurement packages or bundled with other fastener and hardware buys, making them difficult to isolate in searchable procurement databases.
