UNSPSC 31162918: Power clamp

A type of clamp that applies maximum force in a single movement.

UNSPSC 31162918 Power clamp is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized clamping devices, including Flexim clamp-on flow measurement systems and related fastening equipment used in water treatment operations, facility maintenance, and operational infrastructure. State and local governments procure these clamps primarily for point-to-point flow measurement and control applications at water treatment facilities, fire rescue operations, and county maintenance programs. The issuing bodies are county commissions and municipal water departments, with Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa representing the primary recent buyers in this category.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, particularly in the Tampa Bay area where Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa have posted solicitations. The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source for Flexim Clamps (26X01008) on behalf of the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility with a response deadline of April 1, 2026, seeking authentic Emerson-Flexim clamp-on flow measuring devices with CL2 Solutions identified as the authorized sole municipality representative for Emerson-Flexim parts and meters in Florida. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has posted related hand tools and operational supplies solicitations (ITB2600285 and ITB2600319) as ITBs with estimated values of $715,540.41 and $765,679.84 respectively, though these broader solicitations include power clamps and fastening hardware as line items within larger consumables contracts rather than as dedicated specialty equipment procurements. The water treatment application represents the most specialized use of the code, while county-wide maintenance and fire rescue operations drive volume purchasing of general-purpose clamping and fastening equipment on an as-needed basis.
