UNSPSC 31163301: Double ended stud

A stud threaded at both ends.

UNSPSC 31163301 Double ended stud is a Commodity code covering threaded fastening products and hardware that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and construction operations. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers are purchasing a broad range of threaded fasteners — hex bushings, bolts, cap screws, lock nuts, washers, threaded rods, socket cap screws, and related hardware — typically for fleet maintenance, facility upkeep, and infrastructure work. Issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, transportation authorities, and other special-purpose districts, with procurement driven by operational maintenance cycles and inventory replenishment rather than project-driven demand.

Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California posted an IFB for threaded products and fasteners in May 2026 with a $150,000 contract value over three years, requiring North American-made Grade 8 high-strength bolts, ISO 17025 laboratory certifications or MilSpec compliance documentation, monthly scheduled deliveries to two facilities, and 48-hour response times for urgent orders; bids were due March 16, 2026 with a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal applied. Dallas County, Texas solicited hex bushings (1/4" × 1/2" black pipe) via IFB 2100722 with a September 25, 2026 response date. Recent activity clusters in California and Texas, with procurement concentrated among regional transit authorities and county maintenance operations seeking reliable, compliant fastener supply relationships under firm fixed-price arrangements with no escalation clauses.
