UNSPSC 31163203: Dowel pin

UNSPSC 31163203 Dowel pin is a Commodity code capturing the procurement of precision dowel pins — cylindrical fasteners used to align, locate, or lock components in machinery, equipment, and structural assemblies — by state and local government agencies. State and local buyers under this code typically include maintenance and operations departments within departments of transportation, public works agencies, school districts operating fleet or facilities maintenance programs, and municipal utilities managing equipment inventories. Dowel pins are purchased as maintenance stock or as components in equipment repair and fabrication work performed in-house or by contractors. The sourcing mix spans both local suppliers and national fastener distributors, with purchasing typically managed through routine procurement channels rather than specialized construction or equipment services contracts.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, making it difficult to characterize current geographic concentration or to identify representative recent solicitations. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices, issuing-body activity, or response deadlines, the code does not surface actionable pursuit signals at this time.
