UNSPSC 44122100: Fastening supplies

UNSPSC 44122100 Fastening supplies is a Class code covering fasteners and related fastening hardware that state and local governments procure as components of broader office and administrative supply contracts. The code encompasses items such as staples, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, clips, and similar mechanical fasteners used in office and facilities settings. Recent solicitations show fastening supplies bundled within larger office-supply bids rather than purchased as standalone line items; state and local buyers treat fasteners as part of routine administrative procurement alongside envelopes, folders, binders, and writing instruments. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving educational systems. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based non-profit cooperative representing 35 school systems, has used the code in procurement activity.

CPA's 2027-006 Office Supplies Bid, posted August 10, 2026 with responses due September 29, 2026, represents the most recent documented activity under this code. That solicitation included fasteners among approximately 150 line items of office and desktop supplies, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 unit to 7,000 units depending on the specific product. The bid was solicited via IFB under cooperative purchasing terms, with awards to be made based on vendor relations, past performance, service, warranty validity, customer feedback, and product performance rather than lowest price alone. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where CPA maintains its warehouse and purchasing operations for member school systems. Recent activity under this code is sparse; no additional state or local opportunities appear in the source materials.
