UNSPSC 31162307: Mounting plates

UNSPSC 31162307 Mounting plates (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records predominantly as a line item within broader hardware, custodial supplies, and equipment catalog bids rather than as a standalone product solicitation. The code shows little direct activity; recent opportunities tagged under it primarily seek custodial supplies, audio equipment components, law enforcement equipment, and general hardware and lumber—categories where mounting plates function as subordinate components rather than primary procurements. State and local governments acquire mounting plates through cooperative purchasing agreements, school district hardware catalogs, and municipal equipment bids where vendors bid discounts across full product lines that include brackets, racks, and fastening hardware as part of their standard offerings.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include regional educational purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), municipal governments (City of Austin), independent school districts (Donna ISD), and statewide cooperative procurement authorities (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative has posted the most recent activity, issuing catalog discount RFPs for custodial supplies (CUS2628, due May 26, 2026, with estimated expenditures of $12.6 million over two years) and earlier iterations (CUS2223 and CUS2324). The City of Austin issued IFB DCG1036 for station alerting audio parts including mounting brackets and racks (due July 14, 2026), and Donna ISD posted RFP 011326-874 for general hardware and lumber supplies including fasteners and brackets (due April 8, 2026). Geographic concentration is limited; recorded activity centers in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, City of Austin, Donna ISD) and the Pacific Northwest (Sourcewell RFP 061626 involving Washington counties). The code shows minimal standalone market demand and does not support a dedicated pursuit strategy in state and local procurement.
