UNSPSC 31162409: Clevis pin

UNSPSC 31162409 Clevis pin is a Commodity code representing fasteners and hardware components that state and local governments procure for electrical utility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and public safety equipment. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader set of electrical and mechanical fastening products—lugs, bolts, couplers, ground rods, clamps, and related hardware—than the clevis pin designation alone suggests. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal electric utilities and city departments managing public safety infrastructure. Lubbock Power & Light, a municipal electric utility in Texas, recently solicited 42 line items of specialized electrical components and fasteners under a three-quote competitive process, with quantities ranging from 2 to 2,100 units per item and delivery to a specified substation as a key evaluation factor.

Activity under the code is concentrated in Texas. Lubbock Power & Light issued RFQ 26-7017-ELD for electrical equipment with a response date of October 5, 2026, specifying FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid and requiring Material Safety Data Sheets for hazardous materials; the utility reserves the right to award on an item-by-item or all-or-none basis and accepts payment via purchasing card. A secondary recent opportunity—City of Tucson RFP 260122 for badges, pins, medals, and accessories—appears tagged to this code but is unrelated to fasteners or electrical components; that solicitation targets public safety insignia with a pre-submittal meeting scheduled for September 3, 2025, and proposals due September 17, 2025, including Section 3 labor requirements under federal ARPA funding. The electrical hardware opportunity represents the code's actual current procurement activity; the Tucson badges solicitation reflects a tagging mismatch rather than legitimate commodity scope.
