UNSPSC 31341709: Stainless steel bolted sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341709 Stainless steel bolted sheet assemblies, a Commodity code, covers metal hardware and fabricated components that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, equipment maintenance, and operational support. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting stainless steel and carbon steel bolts, base plates, anchor fasteners, and related sheet metal assemblies—materials used in sign shop operations, water treatment facilities, traffic control systems, and general maintenance programs. The issuing-body mix includes state universities (Texas A&M University System), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Water Development Board, Texas Department of Transportation), cities (Detroit, Tucson), and special districts (Lavonia water authority). State procurement offices and university purchasing systems dominate the activity, with Detroit appearing twice for anchor bolts and base plates supporting traffic-engineering operations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Michigan, Illinois, and Georgia. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026, under solicitation TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, managed through the AggieBid portal with questions directed to soprocurement@tamus.edu. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued RFQ 547916 (rebid as 547916REBID) for anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps for the Traffic Engineering Division Sign Shop at 2425 Fenkell Street, with quotes due August 12, 2026—a three-year contract requiring Detroit-based business certification and workforce composition compliance under Executive Order #2016-2 (50% Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women), with usage projections of 80 boxes of bolts year one and 500 post base plates annually. The State of Illinois solicited a Blanket Order Agreement for stainless steel angle and square tube materials due September 11, 2026, allowing flexible as-needed procurement with standard state terms including $1,000,000 commercial liability insurance and $15 minority contractor initiative fees. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Water Development Board also posted related sheet-metal and raw-materials bids in July and August 2026, signaling ongoing demand across state operations and utilities.
