UNSPSC 31162301: Mounting profiles

UNSPSC 31162301 Mounting profiles (Commodity) encompasses hardware components and structural fastening elements that state and local governments procure to support infrastructure maintenance, traffic management, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying anchor bolts, post base plates, drive caps, and related mounting hardware primarily for traffic sign infrastructure and station equipment systems. The City of Detroit Department of Public Works has been the most active recent buyer under this code, issuing multiple RFQs for anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps to support the Traffic Engineering Division Sign Shop; these components are specified to strict material and dimensional standards, including ASTM-conforming steel base plates and grade-2 zinc-finished expansion anchors with delivery required within thirty days of order. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city departments of public works and transportation, county judicial facilities, and transit authorities procuring equipment mounting systems for infrastructure and courtroom media installations.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Florida. The City of Detroit issued RFQ 547916 (reposted as 547916REBID) with a due date of August 12, 2026, requiring Detroit-based business certification and compliance with Executive Order #2016-2 workforce composition mandates (50% Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women); the original solicitation specified unit-basis pricing with F.O.B. delivery and a three-year contract term with no renewal options, projecting 80 to 500 units across multiple product lines depending on year and category. Hillsborough County (Florida) Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court issued ITB 2600341 for media podium equipment with an estimated value of $184,061 and a due date of August 3, 2026. The City of Austin issued IFB DCG1036 for station alerting audio parts including amplifiers, speakers, mounting racks, and brackets with a due date of July 14, 2026, offering optional Small Business Preference Program participation and requiring wage theft and cybersecurity compliance certifications. Activity in Texas, Washington, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and Region 7 indicates broader geographic reach, though specific mounting-profile-related opportunities are sparse outside the Detroit and Austin solicitations.
