UNSPSC 31163215: Grooved pins

UNSPSC 31163215 Grooved pins, a Commodity code, covers fastening hardware that state and local governments procure as components for equipment assembly, maintenance, and repair across multiple infrastructure and facilities operations. Grooved pins—cylindrical fasteners with longitudinal grooves that provide mechanical grip without requiring threading—appear in solicitations for fleet maintenance, water-system equipment, HVAC systems, and general facilities work where temporary or semi-permanent joining is needed without the precision requirements of threaded fasteners. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, municipal public works and utilities divisions, county facilities management offices, and independent school districts; the fasteners are typically bought as line items within broader maintenance, repair, and operations RFQs or ITBs rather than as standalone procurements.

The source contains no posted recent opportunities tagged to this code. The absence of recent activity suggests either minimal state and local demand for grooved pins as a standalone line item, or that these fasteners are bundled into larger hardware or equipment maintenance contracts under different UNSPSC codes. Without posted solicitations, geographic concentration and representative recent buys cannot be determined from current data.
