UNSPSC 31163226: Circlip

A type of spring ring, but smaller, that has a hole at either end for receiving the pins of special pliers.

UNSPSC 31163226 Circlip, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of circlips — metal fastening rings used to secure components on shafts and in bores across industrial and mechanical equipment. State and local governments procure circlips as replacement and maintenance parts for vehicles, water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, public works equipment, and facility maintenance operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, departments of public works, municipal water utilities, county road maintenance operations, and transit authorities. Circlips are typically purchased through parts-supply RFQs and open-market procurement rather than dedicated capital projects, often as line items bundled with other fasteners and replacement hardware within broader maintenance and repair contracts.
