UNSPSC 31162904: Wire rope clamps

UNSPSC 31162904 Wire rope clamps is a Commodity-level code that state and local governments procure as components within larger equipment and infrastructure systems rather than as standalone fastening products. The recent opportunities show wire rope clamps appearing as incidental specifications within hoist and lifting-system contracts and pavement rehabilitation work, but the code shows no direct solicitations for wire rope clamps as a primary procurement line item. State and local issuing bodies procuring under or near this code include municipal departments of transportation, county public works agencies, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multi-jurisdictional procurement needs. When wire rope clamps are specified, they function as part of assembled equipment systems — such as the hydraulic lift and hoist systems with weighted components requiring secure fastening — rather than as discrete commodities purchased through standalone RFQs or RFPs.

Recent activity shows the code receives minimal direct attention as a primary procurement focus across state and local markets. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued RFQ 549183 in July 2026 for hoists, parts, and services with an August 27, 2026 response date, which specified lifting systems where rope clamps would function as hardware components; Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 in April 2026 for Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation with a May 21, 2026 bid due date, which specified removal and replacement of guardrail systems where rope clamps may appear as fastening hardware; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment serving Participating Entities across Washington state and beyond. The code's limited standalone procurement activity reflects that wire rope clamps typically embed within equipment, infrastructure, or systems contracts rather than drive independent buying cycles. Firms pursuing this code should focus on equipment and infrastructure opportunities where rope clamps are specified components, particularly in transportation, public works, and municipal facilities maintenance.
