UNSPSC 31162305: Mounting clips

UNSPSC 31162305 Mounting clips is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as fastening hardware and mechanical components supporting infrastructure and equipment assembly. Recent opportunities under this code show procurement activity spanning hardware supply for traffic-sign operations, courtroom media podium installation, fire-station alerting systems, and law-enforcement equipment mounting. The issuing bodies include city departments of public works, county court administrations, transit and utility authorities, and statewide cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple member jurisdictions. Work solicited ranges from small supply contracts for specialized fasteners (anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps) to larger blanket purchase agreements providing mounting brackets, racks, and related hardware across multiple call-off orders and locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Texas, with secondary activity in Arizona, Minnesota, and Washington state through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
