UNSPSC 31163303: Ball stud

Studs with a spherical or semi-spherical configuration at the end opposite the threads to facilitate pivoting and/or rotation.

UNSPSC 31163303 Ball stud is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure fastening components and threaded products—primarily hex bushings, bolts, cap screws, lock nuts, washers, threaded rods, rivets, and brass fittings—for maintenance, construction, and fleet operations. The recent opportunities show that issuing bodies source both individual fastener items (such as specific hex bushings for plumbing or mechanical applications) and broader fastener supply agreements covering dozens of line items with estimated annual usage and multi-year contract terms. County transportation authorities and county procurement offices appear among the buyers, procuring fasteners for vehicle fleets and facility maintenance.

The code shows recent activity in Texas and California. Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250199 on May 1, 2026, requesting threaded products and fasteners with bids due March 16, 2026, an estimated contract value of $150,000 over three years, delivery to two facilities in Orange County, and a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal; all fasteners must be North American-made Grade 8 high-strength bolts with ISO 17025 or MilSpec certification, firm fixed unit pricing with no increases permitted, prevailing wage requirements under Davis-Bacon and California Labor Code, and Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. Dallas County, Texas issued solicitation 2100722 on September 22, 2026, requesting hex bushings, 1/4" x 1/2" black pipe, with bids due September 25, 2026. The code sees limited recent activity with few open opportunities at present.
