UNSPSC 31162601: Swivel hooks

UNSPSC 31162601 Swivel hooks is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure lifting and securing hardware for operational, maintenance, and law enforcement equipment use. Recent solicitations show demand for clevis and grab hooks in multiple grades and finishes, anchor shackles in stainless steel and galvanized materials, and related rigging components such as tie-down straps and chain assemblies. Issuing bodies span city and county purchasing departments, multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles, and law enforcement procurement frameworks. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department (on behalf of Hillsborough County) and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative serving thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities nationwide, represent the range of buying structures accessing this code.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00214 for hooks and shackles on March 18, 2026, with quotes due April 15, 2026, requesting firm fixed pricing on 20 line items of hooks, shackles, and rigging hardware with delivery within ten days and aggregate award consideration across multiple departments. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, establishing a cooperative contracting framework available to participating entities across Washington state (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous jurisdictions nationwide. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited transportation maintenance and supplies through a catalog discount model with an estimated two-year expenditure of $10,423,151.00, though the posting date (April 8, 2026) conflicts with a stated due date (November 21, 2024), suggesting a data reporting anomaly in the source.
