UNSPSC 31162606: J hooks

UNSPSC 31162606 J hooks (Commodity) encompasses hardware fasteners and mounting components that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, security systems, and equipment installation. Recent solicitations show the code capturing door hardware procurement—keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, and key blanks—alongside specialized equipment components such as revenue vault hinge bearing rebuilds. The issuing-body mix spans community colleges, city government departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Scope ranges from as-needed facility door hardware stocking to one-time specialty equipment repairs, with pricing typically quoted per item and contracts often structured as 24-month agreements with optional renewals or single micro-purchase orders.

Activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Mt. Hood Community College (Oregon) issued an IFB for door hardware on July 16, 2026, with bids due August 7, 2026, requiring mandatory attendance at a July 29 pre-bid walkthrough and emphasizing experience (40 percent weight) and availability of inside sales personnel (30 percent) alongside price (30 percent). The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ (B2627299) on June 3, 2026, for a revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild with a June 5 deadline and an estimated value not exceeding $43,000. Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle for participating Washington counties and entities nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026; however, this opportunity's connection to J hooks specifically is unclear from available documentation.
