UNSPSC 31162420: Engineered hinge

A type of hinge designed and built for specific purposes beyond typical standard applications.

UNSPSC 31162420 Engineered hinge (Commodity) covers specialized hinges procured by state and local governments for equipment and infrastructure repair, though recent solicitations show limited direct activity under this code. The City of Philadelphia's micro purchase for a revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild, posted June 3, 2026, with a June 5 response deadline, represents the primary recent match—a $43,000 quote request for vault equipment maintenance awarded as a whole or by line item to the lowest responsive bidder through PHLContracts.phila.gov. Beyond this Philadelphia opportunity, recent state and local procurement tagged to this code shows activity concentrated in large multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing and construction projects (a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP and Collier County hangar repair bids) that do not clearly align with engineered hinge procurement; the code appears to see modest direct procurement volume among state and local buyers.

Activity is geographically sparse. Philadelphia represents the clearest recent engagement, while the broader sourcing landscape includes Washington-state and Florida jurisdictions participating in cooperative or construction solicitations. The City of Philadelphia micro purchase requires sellers to quote all line items, maintain $500,000 general liability coverage and statutory workers' compensation insurance, submit a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement, and deliver FOB Destination at quoted net prices with 60-day quote validity and 365-day contract terms. The code shows low frequency of standalone opportunity posting relative to the breadth of state and local procurement activity; firms tracking this commodity should monitor Philadelphia purchasing cycles and similar municipal equipment-maintenance solicitations where engineered hinges serve critical access or security functions.
