UNSPSC 31162813: Wire rope clip

UNSPSC 31162813 Wire rope clip (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the code appears mismatched to the opportunities posted under it. The recent records include a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment and three Santa Clara County construction projects—guardrail replacement, pavement rehabilitation, and bridge replacement—none of which involve wire rope clips as a primary procurement objective. State and local governments do purchase hardware and fastening components like wire rope clips for infrastructure maintenance, equipment assembly, and safety systems, but the posted opportunities do not isolate or explicitly solicit this commodity type.

The geographic concentration in recent activity is heavily California-focused, driven by Santa Clara County's expressway and bridge construction projects (ITB-RDA-FY260694 for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation due May 21, 2026; ITB-RDA-FY260652 for Expressway Guardrail Replacement due April 23, 2026; and ITB-RDA-FY260559 for Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement due March 5, 2026). The Sourcewell RFP (#061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026) spans multiple jurisdictions across Washington, California, and Canada through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. Santa Clara County dominates the recent record, though without itemized procurement data showing wire rope clips as a stand-alone line item or category within these projects, the code's relevance to current state and local buying patterns remains unclear. Vendors pursuing this commodity should verify whether opportunities tagged with this code actually require wire rope clips as specified materials or components.
