UNSPSC 31162908: Miniature clamp

A type of clamp designed for use with small workpieces or used in small spaces.

UNSPSC 31162908 Miniature clamp is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement represents fasteners and hardware components embedded in larger maintenance, repair, and equipment supply contracts rather than standalone miniature clamp line items. The code appears in solicitations for institutional and operational supplies spanning maintenance tools, HVAC equipment, door hardware, traffic sign infrastructure, and telecom repair kits — contexts where fasteners, clips, brackets, and clamping hardware function as support items or consumables within broader procurement scopes. Issuing bodies include state supported living centers and health and human services agencies in Texas, municipal departments of public works and fire rescue operations, and city procurement offices. The mix reflects typical state and local demand: steady, fragmented purchasing across multiple small-value blanket orders rather than consolidated contracts, with most opportunities falling in the $40,000 to $100,000 estimated annual value range and requiring firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to consumer price index or federal minimum wage adjustments.

Activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs since mid-July 2026 for maintenance and operational supplies across state supported living centers at Denton, Mexia, and Austin. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Indianapolis and Marion County Purchasing Division RFB 14-DPW-1817 for traffic sign hardware (including brackets, cantilever arms, stainless steel banding, and bollards, due October 15, 2026), the City of Philadelphia micro purchase B2728124 for anchoring and buoy components (due October 8, 2026), and HHSC IFB HHS0017834 for food service and warehouse supplies to Denton State Supported Living Center including tape dispensers, utility carts, and sealing equipment (due August 14, 2026). Geographic spread extends across Texas, Florida (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue), Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, Indiana, Oregon, and Washington state cooperative procurement. No opportunities identify miniature clamps as a primary line-item focus; the code's state and local activity remains embedded within larger facilities and operations maintenance purchasing flows.
