UNSPSC 53102517: Tie holders

UNSPSC 53102517 Tie holders, a Commodity code, covers fastening devices and organizational hardware that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, inventory organization, and general operations. The code captures cable ties, conduit fasteners, and related small hardware items used across administrative buildings, maintenance shops, transit facilities, and school districts. Purchases typically occur through routine supply requisitions rather than standalone solicitations, often bundled with broader facilities maintenance or janitorial supply contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation and facilities management, county maintenance operations, municipal public works departments, school district central purchasing offices, and transit authorities managing vehicle and infrastructure maintenance. Individual tie-holder purchases are usually low-dollar-value line items within larger cooperative purchasing agreements or blanket orders rather than the subject of dedicated RFPs or RFQs.

The recent state and local contract opportunities block contains no posted solicitations specifically for tie holders under this code. The code shows little visible activity in recent public procurement notice feeds, suggesting that state and local governments source this commodity through standing cooperative agreements, master supply contracts, or county and municipal blanket purchasing arrangements rather than through discrete solicitations that generate public notice. Buyers encountering this code should focus on existing cooperative purchasing vehicles and established vendor relationships with facilities supply distributors rather than anticipate dedicated opportunities.
