UNSPSC 31162312: Mounting pins

UNSPSC 31162312 Mounting pins is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses fastening hardware and hardware components used in municipal infrastructure, courtroom systems, and other public facilities. The City of Detroit's recent RFQ for anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps—issued July 29, 2026 with response due August 12, 2026—exemplifies the scope: the procurement sought 5/8" x 3" long thread expansion anchors in grade 2 zinc finish, hot-rolled steel post base plates conforming to ASTM specifications, and drive caps machined from forged tool steel, all destined for the Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division Sign Shop. The City imposed a three-year contract term, a mandatory Detroit-based business certification requirement, Executive Order #2016-2 workforce composition mandates (50% Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women), and F.O.B. delivered pricing on a unit basis with net 30 day payment terms. Usage projections showed year-one volumes of 80 boxes of bolts, 14 units each of drive caps and post base plates, scaling to 160 boxes and 14 units by year two, with 500 to 1,000 post base plates annually. Most recent solicitations under this code originate from city procurement offices and specialized authorities; Detroit appears as a repeat buyer with multiple issuances of the same RFQ (the original July 29 posting rebid September 9, 2026).

Michigan dominates the recent activity under this code, with Detroit's municipal procurement representing the only clearly relevant recent opportunity. Other postings tagged to the code—Hillsborough County's media podium equipment ITB ($184,061 estimated value, August 3, 2026 response date), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for custodial supplies ($12.6 million estimated over two years, May 26, 2026 response date), City of Austin's station alerting audio parts IFB (July 14, 2026 response date), and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (June 16, 2026 response date)—show minimal or no connection to mounting pins and fastening hardware as a product category. The Detroit opportunities remain the only concrete signal of state and local government demand under this code's actual scope.
