UNSPSC 31162903: Screw clamps

UNSPSC 31162903 Screw clamps (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records with minimal recent substantive activity tied directly to the code's nominal scope. The one concrete opportunity matching the code involves the City of Tampa's single-source procurement for Emerson-Flexim Clamp-On flow measuring devices at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility (Intent to Single Source 26X01008, April 2026), which represents specialized instrumentation clamps for water treatment infrastructure rather than general-purpose fastening clamps. A second Tampa RFQ tagged to the code (26P00454, July 2026) for automotive 8D batteries and supplies includes 50 units each of four hose-clamp sizes (7/16"–1", 1/2"–1-1/4", 5/8"–1-1/2", and 1-5/8"–3-1/2") as a line item within a broader battery and vehicle parts procurement, reflecting incidental sourcing of clamps alongside other fleet maintenance components. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a purchase order for a single constant-torque hose clamp model (2097626, January 2026), but this represents a discrete parts item within transit operations rather than a sustained commodity family. The remaining opportunities in the source record—fleet inventory management, heavy-duty trailer procurement, sewer cleaning equipment, and school automotive parts supply—do not reference screw clamps or align with the code's scope.

The issuing bodies on record are limited to water treatment facilities (City of Tampa), public transit (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and municipal departments (City of Tampa Purchasing). Geographic concentration is minimal and confined to Texas (Dallas-area transit) and Florida (Tampa-area water and fleet operations). The code shows no discernible pattern of recurring solicitations, established vendor relationships, or geographic clustering across multiple jurisdictions. Procurement under this code does not appear to be an active market focus for state and local governments at present, and business development professionals should verify actual clamp requirements within target customer departments before allocating pursuit resources, as the recent record suggests sporadic and incidental demand rather than sustained opportunity flow.
