UNSPSC 31201638: Thread locking compounds

Thread locking compounds or also known as "Threadlockers" are an adhesive that can be applied to the threads of a fastener to prevent it from loosening over time due to vibration or shifting parts.

UNSPSC 31201638 Thread locking compounds is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect the nominal scope of fastener adhesives and sealants. The City of Dallas posted an IFB on June 2, 2026 for electronic items for IT (response due June 8, 2026), and the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued an ITB on February 12, 2026 for safety and security systems services, parts, and consumables (response due March 10, 2026). Neither procurement describes thread locking compounds or related fastener products; instead, both reference broad IT and security equipment categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated product family.

The two visible opportunities span Florida and Texas and represent distinct issuing bodies—a city procurement office and a county school board—but neither reflects actual demand for thread locking compounds. The Dallas solicitation seeks new, unopened IT equipment delivered FOB to Airport Logistics in Dallas, with no mention of fastener sealants. The Sarasota County opportunity encompasses security equipment discounts from 72 manufacturers, consumables such as ID badge clips, and hourly labor rates for installation and maintenance of alarm and access control systems, again with no connection to thread locking or fastening adhesives. Bidders interested in this code should verify whether recent state and local procurement data reflects a genuine market signal for thread locking compounds or whether the code-tagging represents a data-entry error in the source system.
