UNSPSC 20142705: Crank arm assembly

Crank used in oilwell pumping unit extends from and is coupled to the valve member at the valve stem for moving the valve member between open flow and closed flow positions responsive to rotation of the crank arm.

UNSPSC 20142705 Crank arm assembly, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent solicitations tagged under this code involve gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services (City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division RFP No. 240011) and law enforcement equipment procurement through Sourcewell (RFP #061626), neither of which relates to bicycle or mechanical crank arm components or assemblies that the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscategorization by the issuing bodies or that this code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for crank arm assemblies.

No representative opportunities for crank arm assembly procurement appear in recent state and local contracting activity. Absent concrete evidence of active demand for this component under this code, the opportunity set warrants close monitoring rather than immediate pursuit. Firms with crank arm manufacturing or distribution capability may benefit from direct outreach to transit authorities, school districts with bicycle fleet programs, or county parks and recreation departments, but the current solicitation record under this code does not support reliable business development targeting at this time.
