UNSPSC 31231402: Steel shim stock

UNSPSC 31231402 Steel shim stock is a Commodity code covering thin sheets of steel used to fill gaps, adjust alignment, and correct misalignment in mechanical assemblies and equipment installations. State and local governments buy steel shim stock primarily through maintenance and repair operations at facilities, transit authorities, water systems, and public works departments where equipment adjustment and alignment are routine tasks. The product appears across general maintenance contracts, equipment-installation RFPs, and specialized repair solicitations where shims are bundled as consumable materials or wear parts.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, making it difficult to characterize the issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative recent solicitations. Steel shim stock itself is a commodity item typically procured through standing general-supply contracts or cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than as a dedicated solicitation; firms pursuing this code should monitor open RFPs for facility maintenance, mechanical systems repair, and equipment installation work where shims are listed as required materials or subordinate line items.
