UNSPSC 31162509: Brackets

It refers to general hardware for supporting or fixing equipment, equipment, etc. outside a fixed facility such as a building wall or ceiling. However, brackets of parts belonging to the parts of the machine and the device are excluded.

UNSPSC 31162509 Brackets is a Commodity code that in practice covers specialized medical and laboratory equipment procurement by state and local institutions — including dental imaging scanners, analytical instrumentation for wastewater treatment, and medical supply aggregation frameworks. The recent opportunities show state colleges, university health systems, and municipal utilities acquiring individual instruments or establishing master-vendor pools for ongoing equipment and supplies replenishment. Issuing bodies include higher-education procurement offices (Valencia College, Texas A&M University) and municipal utility departments (City of Arlington), reflecting the code's use across both academic health programs and environmental-compliance operations.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Valencia College's sole-source acquisition of four iTero Lumina dental scanners from Align Technology, Inc, totaling $143,196.00 (posted Oct 19, 2026, due Nov 27, 2025); Texas A&M University Division of Finance's ITB for a master-vendor pool of dental and medical equipment and supplies (posted Aug 20, 2026, due Sep 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, submitted electronically through AggieBid); and the City of Arlington's RFP for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment (posted Aug 12, 2026, due Sep 10, 2026, electronic or sealed-envelope submission required). The code sees relatively light recent activity, with opportunities scattered across different institution types and geographies rather than clustering under a single issuing body or region.
