UNSPSC 53141508: Garment rivet

UNSPSC 53141508 Garment rivet is a Commodity code covering metal fasteners used in apparel and textile manufacturing. State and local governments procure these rivets primarily for uniform and workwear production — particularly for law enforcement, correctional, and emergency-services apparel where durability and retention are critical. The code sees occasional solicitation from state departments of corrections, state police agencies, and municipal police departments that manufacture or procure custom uniforms in-house or through contracted production runs. The work is straightforward: supplying finished metal rivets (typically copper, aluminum, or stainless-steel construction) that meet specification for tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional tolerance.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted solicitations, the geographic spread and current activity level cannot be characterized. The narrow scope — rivet supply to apparel production — limits repeat buyers to specialized uniform manufacturers and a small subset of correctional and law-enforcement agencies that control garment sourcing directly. If pursuing this code, monitor correctional-department and state-police procurement channels for uniform-specification updates or production-consolidation initiatives that may trigger material or component solicitations.
