UNSPSC 23153142: Accordion bellows

Accordion bellows are convoluted, expandable, fabric or elastomer components used to protect screws, shafts, slide ways and other components from liquid, chips, dirt and other debris. Accordion bellows are round, square or rectangular in shape and can be manufactured with a variety of end configurations and options. Round and square accordion bellows can have either four closed sides, or three open sides and one closed side.

UNSPSC 23153142 Accordion bellows (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity at a negligible level. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations directly matching this code's scope. The single opportunity tagged with this code — Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' BL109-26 Sheriff's Office Freezer #8 Replacement Project (IFB, due August 7, 2026) — involves walk-in freezer installation, evaporator and condensing units, concrete work, electrical systems, and fencing; accordion bellows are not part of the stated scope. The remaining opportunities in the block span equipment purchases (Wacker Neuson compactors, Weidmuller power supplies, Stihl tools), industrial machinery components (bearings, belts, couplings, gears), utility infrastructure (water main replacement, sewer relocation, boardwalk construction), security systems, parks and facilities renovation, and trade show networking — none of which call for accordion bellows. The code shows no substantive recent activity among state and local buyers.

The mismatch between the code name and the single tagged opportunity suggests either data-tagging error or that accordion bellows are ancillary components within broader mechanical or HVAC systems that buyers do not isolate in procurement notices. The issuing-body mix in the block spans counties (Gwinnett, Orange, Collier, Dallas, DeKalb, Hancock, Indian River, Hillsborough, Palm Beach), municipalities (Arlington, Bartow, Cibolo, Brownsville, Hayward, Waterford), transit authorities (Monterey-Salinas), school districts (Seminole County), and special-purpose entities (Atlanta Beltline, Sourcewell cooperative). Geographic concentration appears across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California. Without relevant recent solicitations, pursuit of this code carries minimal near-term opportunity.
