UNSPSC 31162313: Mounting kits

UNSPSC 31162313 Mounting kits is a Commodity code that covers fastening hardware and structural support components used in public infrastructure, signage, and facility systems. State and local governments procure these items for traffic sign installation, courtroom equipment positioning, and related infrastructure projects where standardized, reliable mounting solutions are required. The scope includes expansion anchor bolts, post base plates, drive caps, mounting brackets, and associated hardware meeting industry standards and material specifications — typically ordered in moderate volumes as consumable supplies or one-time equipment purchases. Issuing bodies include city departments of public works, county judicial circuits, and municipal transit or infrastructure divisions, with procurement conducted through RFQ, ITB, and IFB processes.

Recent activity shows two instances under this code from the City of Detroit Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division (RFQ 547916 and its rebid 547916REBID, both seeking anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps for sign shop operations at 2425 Fenkell Street, with response dates of August 12, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively). The original RFQ specified grade 2 zinc-finish expansion anchors, hot-rolled steel base plates conforming to ASTM standards, and machined tool-steel drive caps, with delivery within thirty days and a three-year contract term; Executive Order #2016-2 compliance applies, requiring not less than 50 percent bona fide Detroit residents in workforce composition. The City of Austin issued IFB DCG1036 on June 15, 2026 (due July 14, 2026) for audio amplifiers, speakers, mounting racks, brackets, and backup power supplies for station alerting systems, structured as a blanket purchase agreement allowing multiple awards. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Michigan and Texas, though the source also captures a multi-state cooperative procurement (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment) and a Hillsborough County, Florida ITB for media podium equipment — indicating sporadic rather than sustained activity in any single region.
