UNSPSC 24101727: Vibrating conveyors

UNSPSC 24101727 Vibrating conveyors (Commodity) covers replacement parts, components, and maintenance supplies for industrial vibrating conveyor systems installed at municipal waste-to-energy facilities. State and local governments buying under this code procure OEM-branded parts such as motion generators, gaskets, washers, locknuts, spring kits, and reactor springs to repair and maintain proprietary vibrating conveyors from manufacturers including SWECO, Joest Inc., and General Kinematics Corporation. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal solid waste departments and water utilities — the City of Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division, the City of Phoenix Water Services Department, and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County appear most frequently in recent opportunities. Solicitations typically take the form of RFQs for routine parts replacement, single-source intents when only OEM parts will satisfy operational requirements, and longer-term IFBs establishing multi-year supply agreements with authorized distributors.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona. The City of Tampa's McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility has generated four separate procurement actions since May 2026 — two single-source intents (for SWECO and Joest Inc. parts, each valued at twenty thousand dollars annually), one RFQ for General Kinematics Corporation parts due May 27, 2026, and broader component replacement quotes. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 25-0748 on September 24, 2026, seeking an eight-year conveyor system equipment contract with a response deadline of May 23, 2025 (note: date appears internally inconsistent in source), requiring authorized distributors with minimum five years' experience and pricing on 185 specific conveyor components from manufacturers including SEW-Eurodrive, Spaans Babcock, and Woerner. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County issued RFEI 27-501 on September 11, 2026, for a waste-to-energy facility procurement that includes vibrating conveyor equipment as part of a larger demolition, design, build, operate, and maintain scope, with submissions due November 18, 2026.
