UNSPSC 20101620: Electromagnetic vibro feeder

A vibro feeder has a tray which is mounted below a hopper and material is discharged by inducing vibration to this tray electro magnetically through a set of leaf springs.

UNSPSC 20101620 Electromagnetic vibro feeder is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not align with what is actually being procured under this designation. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 for gas extraction and removal services—specifically EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation from appliances and products at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus—yet this work falls squarely within environmental services and hazardous-materials handling, not equipment feeders. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunity record or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to this procurement. No other recent state or local opportunities appear in the source supporting activity under the electromagnetic vibro feeder code itself.

The Tucson solicitation does reveal one active municipal buyer and geographic footprint: Pima County and the City of Tucson, Arizona, with a one-year initial contract term and up to four renewals. The RFP specifies EPA certification, detailed gas-destruction documentation, approved recovery equipment, and certified technician credentials as core qualifications, with a pre-submittal conference held in March 2024 and final proposals due September 19, 2024. The contract references Federal Transit Administration terms and contemplates DBE participation, though specific set-aside language is not detailed. However, this opportunity does not represent genuine procurement activity under the electromagnetic vibro feeder code, and business development professionals pursuing equipment-feeder work should seek opportunities coded under materials-handling or industrial-equipment families rather than rely on this code for sourcing.
