UNSPSC 31163104: Mechanical rebar connector or splice

A device used to join lengths of rebar together.

UNSPSC 31163104 Mechanical rebar connector or splice is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses specialized connectors and fastening components for infrastructure projects ranging from concrete construction to electrical and transit applications. State and local governments solicit this code across diverse issuing bodies — county transportation departments, city utilities, and regional transit authorities — each procuring connectors and splice products tailored to their specific operational needs. The scope of work under this code is narrowly defined by product type rather than service scope; purchasing agents acquire mechanical connectors and splice assemblies as material inputs to larger construction, pavement, electrical, or infrastructure rehabilitation projects, often as line items within broader competitive solicitations that name labor, equipment, and materials collectively.

Recent activity shows geographically dispersed issuing bodies. Santa Clara County, California issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard with a May 21, 2026 response deadline, seeking comprehensive pavement rehabilitation labor and materials that would include connector and splice components within curb, concrete, and guardrail installation work. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a purchase order (solicitation 2097648) on January 23, 2026, for a Connector KJ 1/0 (Motor Leads) electrical component with a January 30, 2026 deadline, reflecting transit-sector demand for specialized motor-lead connectors distinct from concrete or rebar applications. A third posting from the City of Tampa on April 14, 2026, for Parker Instrumentation Products under a single-source procurement is unrelated to this code's scope and does not represent relevant activity.
