UNSPSC 31162602: Spring hooks

UNSPSC 31162602 Spring hooks, a Commodity code, covers lifting and securing hardware—primarily hooks, shackles, and related fastening components—that state and local governments procure for maintenance, operations, and law enforcement equipment. Recent solicitations show demand across general municipal operations (maintenance supplies, general-purpose hardware) and specialized applications such as law enforcement equipment provision. Issuing bodies span city purchasing departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing organizations that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. The scope of work is straightforward procurement of standard, off-the-shelf hardware in various sizes, grades, and materials (galvanized steel, stainless steel, nylon), with vendors competing primarily on pricing, delivery speed, and ability to stock multiple SKUs.

The code shows activity across multiple states, with recent opportunities posted in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative based in Kilgore), Florida (City of Tampa and Hillsborough County), and multi-state cooperative frameworks (Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities in Washington and throughout the United States and Canada). The City of Tampa, Florida Purchasing Department issued RFQ 26P00214 for hooks and shackles on March 18, 2026, with a due date of April 15, 2026, seeking 20 line items of screw pin anchor shackles, clevis hooks, tie-down straps, chain, and slings for one-year aggregate award. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted TRAN2426, a catalog discount bid for transportation maintenance and supplies (with a broader scope that includes spring hooks and related items), due November 21, 2024, with estimated expenditure of $10,423,151.00 over two years and 120 prior respondents. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, covering multiple Washington counties and public entities across the United States and Canada through a cooperative framework.
