UNSPSC 31162505: Magnetic mounting brackets

UNSPSC 31162505 Magnetic mounting brackets is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division, has been the primary recent issuing body under this code, soliciting anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps for sign shop operations—fastening and mounting components used in traffic infrastructure maintenance rather than discrete magnetic mounting brackets. The Hillsborough County Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court issued an ITB in July 2026 for media podium equipment estimated at $184,061, though the connection between magnetic mounting brackets and courtroom podium systems is unclear from the available materials. The City of Austin solicited audio parts for station alerting systems in June 2026, including mounting racks and brackets as secondary items within a larger equipment procurement. A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative custodial supplies RFP and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP also carry the code tag but do not reflect magnetic mounting bracket procurement in their substantive scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Texas, with Austin and Detroit appearing as repeat buyers. The Detroit RFQ 547916, reissued in September 2026 after an initial August 2026 posting, required Detroit-based business certification and specified 5/8" x 3" expansion anchors in grade 2 zinc finish, hot-rolled steel post base plates conforming to ASTM standards, and forged tool steel drive caps, with usage projections of 80 boxes of bolts and 14 units each of drive caps and post base plates in year one, scaling to 160 and 1,000 units respectively by year two under a three-year contract with Executive Order 2016-2 workforce composition requirements (50% Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women). The Austin IFB DCG1036 for station alerting audio parts, due July 14, 2026, included mounting brackets and mounting racks within a larger scope of amplifiers, speakers, and backup power supplies and offered optional Small Business Preference Program participation. The code shows limited substantive recent activity specifically for magnetic mounting brackets as a standalone product line; the tagged opportunities reflect broader fastening and mounting component procurement within specialized municipal and infrastructure projects.
