UNSPSC 31162901: Ear clamps

UNSPSC 31162901 Ear clamps is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant alignment with ear clamps as a product category. The two posted opportunities — both from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners — are solicitations for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319, estimated value $765,679.84) and hand tools (ITB-26-00285, estimated value $715,540.41). Neither solicitation mentions ear clamps or hose/pipe fastening components; the supplies and tools listed include brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, and pry bars. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied to these opportunities in error, or the opportunities were tagged with a broader commodity grouping that does not reflect the narrower scope of the Commodity code itself.

The geographic and issuing-body data are limited to a single county jurisdiction. Both opportunities are ITB competitive sealed-bid solicitations posted by Hillsborough County in June and July 2026, with response deadlines of June 23 and July 24, 2026 respectively. Hillsborough County delivered both the Fire Rescue Department janitorial supply requirement and the general hand-tool purchasing need through its Euna Procurement system and reserved the right to extend both contracts to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Without additional recent opportunities under this code that actually address ear clamps or hose-assembly fastening, the current posted activity does not support a meaningful characterization of state and local buying patterns or geographic concentration under UNSPSC 31162901.
