UNSPSC 31162904: Wire rope clamps

UNSPSC 31162904 Wire rope clamps is a Commodity code covering fastening and securing hardware used in construction, infrastructure, and equipment assembly work. State and local governments procure wire rope clamps primarily as components in larger construction and safety projects—including bridge construction, guardrail installation, pavement rehabilitation, and roadway safety barrier work. The clamps are typically sourced as line items or as part of broader equipment and materials procurement bundled into infrastructure contracts rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county transportation and public works departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Santa Clara County, California appears as a repeat buyer across multiple infrastructure projects posted in the recent opportunity window.

Recent activity concentrates in California, specifically Santa Clara County, which has issued multiple ITB (Invitation to Bid) notices for infrastructure work that would incorporate wire rope clamps as components. Representative opportunities include the Red Fox Creek Bridge #37C0172 Replacement Project (ITB-RDA-FY26-0559, response due March 5, 2026), the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (ITB-RDA-FY26-0652, response due April 23, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid April 14, 2026), and the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB-RDA-FY260694, response due May 21, 2026). A broader-based cooperative purchasing RFP through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and other jurisdictions (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, response due June 16, 2026) also appeared in the recent posting window, though law enforcement equipment context does not align clearly with the wire rope clamps commodity scope.
