UNSPSC 31163012: Coupling half

A type of coupling for interconnecting fire or other hose to a reciprocal connection mounted on another hose or on a fixed object.

UNSPSC 31163012 Coupling half is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local activity posted under this classification. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, due July 13, 2026—solicits labor, materials, and services for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure system installation, including conduit, pathways, raceways, cabling, and terminations within a new pro shop building. This work bears no relation to the purchase or installation of coupling halves, which are mechanical connector components used in piping, hydraulic, and fluid-transfer applications. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in DeKalb County's notice or a misuse of this Commodity code for infrastructure work that belongs under different UNSPSC classifications.

The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. With only one posting in the most-recent-opportunities block and that posting unrelated to the code's nominal scope, state and local buyers do not appear to be sourcing coupling halves under this classification at present. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC codes used in their target markets for mechanical fasteners and connectors rather than relying on 31163012 as an active procurement vehicle.
