UNSPSC 31162310: Mounting straps

UNSPSC 31162310 Mounting straps (Commodity) covers fastening hardware and structural components that state and local governments procure to support infrastructure operations and maintenance. Recent solicitations under this code show procurement of anchor bolts, post base plates, drive caps, and associated mounting hardware used in traffic engineering operations, courtroom media equipment installation, and general facility infrastructure. The issuing bodies are predominantly city and county departments — the City of Detroit Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division has posted two related RFQs for anchor bolts and post base plates for sign shop operations, Hillsborough County Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court issued an ITB for media podium equipment requiring mounting hardware, and the City of Austin posted an IFB for station alerting audio parts including mounting racks and brackets. Activity also includes cooperative purchasing vehicles: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas aggregates custodial supplies through an RFP to member entities, and Sourcewell (State of Minnesota local government unit) is conducting a multi-state RFP for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of participating governmental agencies.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest, Southeast, and Upper Midwest. Michigan shows sustained repeat activity through the City of Detroit's sequential RFQ postings (July 29 and September 9, 2026 for the same scope), Texas appears through both Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative and City of Austin solicitations, and Florida through Hillsborough County. The Sourcewell RFP indicates multi-state participation including Washington, Minnesota, and broader national coverage.
