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 is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity under its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code show little connection to figure eight hooks or their typical industrial applications. The City of Philadelphia sought quotes for a revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild (B2627299, micro purchase, due June 5, 2026, valued under $43,000); Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) available to participating entities across Washington state and nationally; and Collier County, Florida solicited sealed bids for aircraft hangar repairs following Hurricane Ian damage (Bid 25-8614R and predecessor Bid 25-8614, due April 23 and March 30, 2026 respectively, with an anticipated budget of $1,293,500). None of these align with the code's product definition.

The geographic spread of the few records shown includes Florida, Minnesota (via cooperative purchasing covering Washington state and multi-state participation), and Pennsylvania. The issuing bodies span a city procurement office, a state cooperative purchasing unit, and a county government. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work actually tagged to it suggests either procurement-classification error at the source jurisdictions or minimal genuine demand for figure eight hooks through formal state and local channels. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether recent RFQs and RFPs in their target geographies are correctly labeled, as the current activity does not reflect procurement of the commodity itself.
