UNSPSC 31163221: Panel pin

A small slender pin with a very small head, mainly used for attaching plywood or hardboard to supports.

UNSPSC 31163221 Panel pin, a Commodity code, encompasses fastening hardware — specifically panel pins used to secure panels, covers, and enclosures in electrical and mechanical assemblies. State and local governments procure panel pins primarily through facilities maintenance, equipment repair, and capital equipment purchases; the code captures small-volume fastener requirements that support ongoing operations at maintenance shops, utility control centers, water treatment facilities, and equipment depots across municipal and county infrastructure. Issuing bodies under this code include county facilities departments, city public works divisions, and state agency maintenance operations that source replacement fasteners as part of routine procurement cycles.

The source material provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 31163221. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs naming panel pins or this code, geographic concentration cannot be characterized and representative recent solicitations cannot be named. The absence of visible activity under this code may reflect that panel pins are procured either through standing equipment-maintenance contracts broader in scope, or through small-purchase or blanket-order frameworks that do not generate individual notices. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and facilities-maintenance RFPs issued by larger counties and state departments, where fastener requirements often appear as line items rather than standalone solicitations.
