UNSPSC 53141501: Straight pins

UNSPSC 53141501 Straight pins, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow fastener category that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, equipment assembly, and general operations. The code covers standard straight pins used in mechanical applications, equipment repair, and construction-related fastening tasks where pins serve as retention devices or alignment components. State and local procurement of straight pins typically occurs through standing-offer contracts, blanket purchase agreements, or inclusion in broader facilities maintenance and janitorial supply RFQs rather than as sole-source solicitations. Buyers include state departments of transportation and facilities management, county maintenance offices, city public works departments, and school district operations and maintenance teams.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted RFQs, RFPs, ITBs, or IFBs in the recent-opportunities block, no geographic concentration, issuing-body repeat patterns, or representative procurement examples can be identified. Straight pins as a discrete commodity line typically appear as line items within broader fastener, hardware, or facilities supplies contracts rather than as standalone solicitations, which may explain the absence of dedicated notices. Business development professionals should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicle catalogs and state-level facilities maintenance RFQs where pins are bundled with related fasteners and hardware, rather than expect standalone commodity-level solicitations for this code.
