UNSPSC 24101727: Vibrating conveyors

UNSPSC 24101727 Vibrating conveyors, a Commodity code, covers replacement parts, components, and maintenance supplies for proprietary vibratory conveyor systems installed at waste-to-energy and similar industrial facilities. State and local governments buy OEM parts and gaskets, motion generators, springs, washers, locknuts, and reactor components to maintain operational vibratory conveyors that cannot be serviced with generic industrial equipment. The City of Tampa is the primary issuing body in recent activity, soliciting these parts through its Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division to support the McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility. Procurements are typically split between sole-source intents when OEM exclusivity is required and competitive RFQs when multiple suppliers can meet specifications. Single-source awards justify on the grounds that only original-equipment manufacturer parts and components provide satisfactory repairs to proprietary systems and that no alternative products are available or recommended.

Activity is concentrated in Florida, specifically the Tampa Bay area, with four recent solicitations posted between March and July 2026. The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source for General Kinematics vibrating conveyor parts (Solicitation 26-X-00985, posted March 25, 2026), followed by an RFQ for General Kinematics replacement parts including 150 washers, 150 locknuts, 10 spring kits, and 12 reactor springs (RFQ 26-P-00342, posted May 28, 2026), an Intent to Single Source for Joest Inc. vibrating conveyor parts (Solicitation 26-X-01466, posted July 14, 2026, estimated annual cost twenty thousand dollars), and an Intent to Single Source for SWECO Vibro-Energy Equipment parts and components (Solicitation 26-X-01472, posted July 16, 2026, estimated contract value twenty thousand dollars). Tracy Edwards, Procurement Analyst, manages most transactions; Christopher Eckert, WTE Plant Manager, provides operational input. All solicitations cite account code 41400.240500.552004 as the funding source and require vendors to demonstrate authorization status with the original equipment manufacturer and carry commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence.
