UNSPSC 31162613: Figure eight hook

A hook in the shape of the figure 8, closed in on one side and slightly open on the other.

UNSPSC 31162613 Figure eight hook, a Commodity code, encompasses hardware fasteners and specialized rigging components that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, equipment assembly, and infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring figure eight hooks as part of broader door hardware, equipment rebuild, and law enforcement equipment procurements—suggesting the code captures both standalone hook purchases and their integration into larger projects. The issuing bodies include community colleges, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles representing multiple jurisdictions; Mt. Hood Community College and the City of Philadelphia have posted recent opportunities. The scope reflects routine facilities and equipment maintenance rather than specialized industrial or construction applications, with purchasing driven by as-needed replacement and repair cycles rather than bulk acquisition or capital projects.

Mt. Hood Community College Facilities Department issued an RFQ (Solicitation SP0040000017515, due August 7, 2026) for door hardware on an as-needed basis, with a 24-month contract period and options for two consecutive one-year renewals. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ (Solicitation B2627299, due June 5, 2026) for revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild with a contract value not exceeding $43,000. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle serving participating entities across Washington and multiple states, issued an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment, though the available documentation does not explicitly link figure eight hooks to that solicitation's scope. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington) and mid-Atlantic regions (Pennsylvania), with cooperative purchasing expanding potential reach across the upper Midwest and beyond. The code shows limited recent activity under its nominal scope; most identified opportunities prioritize other hardware components or are categorized broadly, suggesting figure eight hooks are purchased as subordinate line items rather than as primary procurement drivers.
