UNSPSC 31162816: Spinneret

A small metal plate, thimble, or cap with fine holes through which a cellulose or chemical solution is forced in the spinning of man-made filaments.

UNSPSC 31162816 Spinneret is a Commodity code covering fastening hardware and replacement components for industrial and facility maintenance operations, specifically spinnerets and related spooling or extrusion apparatus parts used in textile, chemical, or manufacturing environments. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through county facilities management departments and regional transit authorities for inventory replenishment, repair, and operational continuity. The scope spans replacement spinnerets themselves alongside complementary fasteners, hardware, and consumable supplies that support textile or extrusion equipment maintenance. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies sourcing broad multi-category supply packages rather than spinnerets in isolation—county procurement offices and transit authorities consolidate fastening hardware, HVAC components, electrical supplies, building materials, and related maintenance items into single solicitations where spinnerets or specialized extrusion parts may constitute a subset of line items.

Recent activity concentrates in California, where San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued ITB 6391 on May 18, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for parts and supplies encompassing over 500 line items including fasteners, building materials, and maintenance hardware required to support facility operations across the county; bidders must price a minimum of 20 items from the provided list on an F.O.B. destination basis with Net 60 payment terms and delivery within 14 days of purchase order receipt. Orange County Transportation Authority solicited threaded products and fasteners under IFB 250199 (posted May 1, 2026, bids due March 16, 2026) covering 154 line items of high-strength fasteners with an estimated contract value of $150,000 over three years, requiring North American-made Grade 8 bolts, 48-hour response for urgent requests, and delivery to two facilities in Garden Grove and Santa Ana. San Bernardino County offers a 5 percent local vendor preference for vendors with principal place of business within county boundaries; no disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are mentioned in the San Bernardino solicitation, though Orange County Transportation Authority applied a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal to its fastener procurement.
