UNSPSC 31162405: Turnbuckles

UNSPSC 31162405 Turnbuckles is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve hoists and parts (Detroit), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and pavement rehabilitation (Santa Clara County) — none of which center on turnbuckles as a primary procurement object. The Detroit RFQ 549183, posted July 29, 2026, requests hydraulic lift systems, electric hydraulic power units, wireless controls, and related components with OSHA and UL compliance; the scope mentions components from specified manufacturers but does not isolate turnbuckles as a line item. The Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment and the Santa Clara County ITB for expressway pavement rehabilitation diverge further from the code's nominal scope, suggesting the code may be misapplied to these opportunities or sees only incidental use of turnbuckles within larger infrastructure or equipment bundles.

Issuing bodies across the three records span municipal departments (Detroit Department of Transportation), regional cooperatives (Sourcewell serving multiple Washington and Minnesota counties), and county public works (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity includes Michigan, Washington, Minnesota, and California, but the mismatch between the code name and the scope of actual work being solicited limits the signal value. No turnbuckle-specific procurement activity appears in the recent-opportunities block. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local buyers are sourcing turnbuckles as discrete components or only as embedded parts within larger equipment and infrastructure contracts, as the available records do not demonstrate direct demand for turnbuckles as a standalone product line.
