UNSPSC 31162421: Catch

A device designed to tighten by activating a spring motion ball, bolt, plunger, double bevel latch and others. The device is inserted and maintained by the spring compression on the concave surface, strike, or latch.

UNSPSC 31162421 Catch, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—fish and seafood products—bears no relationship to the work actually being solicited under this code number in the source data.

The recent opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 31162421 span equipment repair (Philadelphia's revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild), law enforcement equipment frameworks (Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP), and aircraft hangar construction repairs (Collier County, Florida's Hurricane Ian restoration project). These categories represent facility operations, public safety equipment, and disaster recovery construction—none of which fall within seafood procurement. The issuing bodies include a municipal purchasing office (Philadelphia), a state cooperative purchasing unit (Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and multi-state participating entities), and a county government (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Pennsylvania, Minnesota and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), and Florida. No recent activity reflects the code's stated commodity. This code shows a systematic tagging mismatch and carries no actionable procurement signal for vendors aligned with the Catch taxonomy. The opportunities present require either re-categorization by the issuing bodies or clarification on whether the code classification reflects a data entry error or an intentional but undocumented procurement use.
