UNSPSC 31162504: Electrical fixture brackets

UNSPSC 31162504 Electrical fixture brackets is a Commodity code that encompasses hardware components for doors, hinges, and related building systems—though recent state and local solicitations show activity concentrated in door hardware, hinges, and keyed-cylinder systems rather than electrical mounting brackets. State and local governments procure keyed cylinders, hinges, bearings, and associated hardware on an as-needed basis through facilities departments, public colleges, and municipal maintenance functions. Issuing bodies include community colleges, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and jurisdictions. The scope reflects maintenance and replacement purchasing rather than new-construction specification, with contracts typically structured on term bases (12 to 24 months) with no minimum purchase guarantees; vendors compete on price, experience, and availability rather than volume commitments.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington state through a cooperative purchasing agreement. Mt. Hood Community College Facilities Department issued an IFB (Solicitation SP0040000017515) due August 7, 2026 for Schlage keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, and key blanks over 24 months, with mandatory pre-bid attendance on July 29, 2026 and award weighted 30 percent price, 40 percent experience, 30 percent availability. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase quote request (B2627299) due June 5, 2026 for revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild services, not to exceed $43,000 annually adjusted by CPI-U, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued RFP 061626 due June 16, 2026 on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, plus other participating entities nationwide, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution; this opportunity spans a broader geographic footprint across multiple states and municipal entity types.
