UNSPSC 31162900: Clamps

UNSPSC 31162900 Clamps is a Class code that encompasses fastening hardware and metal joining devices, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect a broader scope of metals and hardware procurement spanning structural materials, hand tools, and janitorial supplies rather than clamps specifically. State and local governments are using this code to solicit metals inventory (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized pipes, tubing, bars, sheet metal, and structural shapes), hand tools (pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, and brushes), and consumable operational supplies. Issuing bodies include county governments and their public-works and fire-rescue departments. Orange County Public Works in California and Hillsborough County in Florida are the repeat buyers in the recent activity, with Hillsborough County posting multiple solicitations under this code for ongoing supply needs.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in California and Florida. Orange County OC Public Works issued IFB0803113903DS on October 7, 2026, for various metals and related hardware with 34 line items across steel, aluminum, and galvanized materials, seeking bids due November 4, 2026 through electronic submission with a contract ceiling of $855,000 and three-year initial term; the scope requires inventory maintenance within thirty miles of the Orange County site and delivery within ten working days. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted two solicitations: ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies for the County Fire Rescue Department's 47 fire stations with an estimated value of $765,679.84 and bids due July 24, 2026, and ITB2600285 on June 2, 2026, for hand tools (52 line items) with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41 and bids due June 23, 2026. Both Hillsborough County awards require electronic submission, authorize use by members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council, and impose standard delivery timeframes of five to ten business days.
