UNSPSC 31162604: Safety hooks

UNSPSC 31162604 Safety hooks is a Commodity code that captures hardware fasteners and attachment devices used in facilities maintenance and equipment repair, though recent state and local solicitations show the code encompasses door hardware components, vault mechanisms, and law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks that extend beyond traditional safety hooks alone. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include community colleges, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. Mt. Hood Community College Facilities Department represents the education sector, the City of Philadelphia represents municipal procurement, and Sourcewell represents cooperative purchasing on behalf of county governments and other public entities across multiple states, indicating diffuse demand across diverse issuing-body types rather than concentration in a single sector or government class.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Washington, and other states participating in cooperative purchasing agreements. Mt. Hood Community College posted an RFQ in July 2026 (response due August 7, 2026) for Schlage keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, and key blanks on an as-needed basis over 24 months, with mandatory pre-bid walkthrough attendance and evaluation weighted toward experience (40 percent) and availability (30 percent) over price (30 percent). The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase ITB in June 2026 (response due June 5, 2026) for revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild services, valued at approximately $43,000 with annual CPI-U adjustments, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, released an RFP in May 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment to establish a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, with submissions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal only.
