UNSPSC 31191504: Abrasive cloth

UNSPSC 31191504 Abrasive cloth is a Commodity code that state and local governments source primarily for construction and facility maintenance projects, though recent solicitations show limited direct activity under this specific code. The few opportunities tagged to this code actually involve broader construction materials and services — notably a gymnasium addition project and ready-mix concrete delivery — rather than abrasive cloth as a discrete line item. Issuing bodies posting under this code span school districts, cities, counties, and transit authorities; Eaton Rapids Public Schools and the City of Jackson appear in recent activity, alongside county and transportation authorities.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Michigan and California, with one Georgia county posting in June 2026. The most visible solicitations are Eaton Rapids Public Schools' sealed-bid IFB for a gymnasium addition at Lockwood Elementary School (RFPERPS2700000000611, due October 27, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.), which requires five years of similar experience and performance bonding; and the Orange County Transportation Authority's specialty paper IFB (250238, due August 24, 2026), which carries a $200,000 one-year budget but is misaligned with abrasive cloth scope. The City of Jackson's RFP for ready-mix concrete services (2026PUBLICWORKS021, June 18, 2026) similarly falls outside the code's intended commodity category. The code shows minimal direct purchasing activity for abrasive cloth itself in the recent state and local market — most postings under this UNSPSC designation actually target unrelated materials or services, suggesting either coding errors in the source data or very low procurement velocity for abrasive cloth as a standalone commodity in state and local procurement.
