UNSPSC 31162508: Shaft eye bracket

A bracket that is a metal part with one or more holes in line to support, arrange or secure the non rotational shaft or mechanical rotating shaft not completely rotated for 360 degrees.

UNSPSC 31162508 Shaft eye bracket is a Commodity code that captures hardware fasteners and structural attachment components used in infrastructure and municipal operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily anchor bolts, post base plates, drive caps, and related mechanical fastening hardware for sign shops, traffic engineering operations, and facility maintenance. The City of Detroit's Traffic Engineering Division Sign Shop exemplifies the primary customer: municipal departments responsible for fabricating, installing, and maintaining street signage, traffic control infrastructure, and related outdoor equipment that requires heavy-duty fastening systems. Issuing bodies are predominantly city departments (public works, transportation, traffic engineering) procuring supplies for operational sign shops and field operations; counties and specialized transit or infrastructure authorities also participate in hardware procurement but appear less frequently in recent activity.

Recent opportunities show Detroit's Department of Public Works as a repeat buyer under this code. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued RFQ 547916 (reissued as 547916REBID) in July and September 2026, both with response dates in August and September 2026, seeking anchor bolts (5/8" × 3" long thread expansion anchors with grade 2 zinc finish), hot-rolled steel post base plates conforming to ASTM specifications, and drive caps machined from forged tool steel. The RFQ specified a three-year contract term with firm unit pricing, F.O.B. delivered, net 30 days, and included Detroit-based business certification as a mandatory eligibility requirement and Executive Order #2016-2 compliance (50% Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women in workforce composition). The solicitation used Bonfire (EUNA Procurement) for submission and was evaluated on total net bid basis with Equalization Allowance criteria. Geographic activity centers on Michigan (Detroit), with no recent opportunities posted from other states or jurisdictions under this specific commodity code in the source material.
