UNSPSC 31162608: Grab hooks

UNSPSC 31162608 Grab hooks is a Commodity code covering metal lifting and securing hardware that state and local governments buy for fleet maintenance, law enforcement equipment provisioning, and general departmental operations. Recent solicitations show demand for grab hooks in grades 40, 70, and 80, clevis slip hooks, screw pin anchor shackles, and related chain and sling assemblies. Issuing bodies span city purchasing departments, county governments, and regional cooperatives serving multi-jurisdictional networks. The City of Tampa's March 2026 RFQ for hooks and shackles on behalf of Hillsborough County represents direct municipal procurement, while Sourcewell—a Minnesota local government cooperative—and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas illustrate the significant role of cooperative purchasing frameworks in aggregating demand across hundreds of participating governmental agencies, K–12 school districts, and public entities.

The code shows activity in Florida and across Texas-anchored cooperative networks, with participating jurisdictions spanning multiple states and Canadian entities. The City of Tampa RFQ 26-P-00214, due April 15, 2026, solicited 20 line items of hooks, shackles, tie-down straps, chain, and nylon slings with quantities ranging from 2 to 400 units per item, with award on a one-year basis; the RFQ required all-item quotation for aggregate consideration and firm pricing on an FOB Destination basis with ten-day delivery. Sourcewell's June 2026 RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026, establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, signaling sustained demand for grab hooks and related equipment through multi-jurisdiction cooperative frameworks. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued an April 2026 catalog discount bid for transportation maintenance and supplies with an estimated two-year contract value of $10,423,151.00 and prior award attracting 120 respondents, indicating strong vendor competition in cooperative purchasing channels.
