UNSPSC 24101732: Conveyor carrying idler bracket

Carrying idler frames are fabricated out of mild steel strips and angles and are used to hold the impact idlers and carrying idlers in position and support / guide the belt.

UNSPSC 24101732 Conveyor carrying idler bracket is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure conveyor system components and equipment under this code, though recent opportunities show substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued an eight-year Invitation for Bid (IFB-25-0748) posted September 24, 2026, for comprehensive conveyor system equipment procurements—a 185-line-item solicitation requiring authorized distributors with at least five years' conveyor belt experience and naming manufacturers such as SEW-Eurodrive INC, Spaans Babcock bv, and Woerner. Beyond this single transportation and utility procurement, the remaining recent opportunities tagged to this code involve traffic signal installations, roadway construction, and professional engineering services for municipalities—work that falls outside conveyor system scope entirely. Phoenix's Water Services Department stands as the sole issuing body pursuing actual conveyor equipment under this code in the recent-opportunities block.

The geographic spread is narrow: Phoenix, Arizona represents the only state and local jurisdiction with a live conveyor-system procurement under this code. The Phoenix IFB includes a pre-offer conference on May 14, 2025, written inquiries due May 16, 2025, and response deadline of May 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with evaluation criteria emphasizing technical capability, manpower availability, equipment, safety record, and company history. The contract requires firm and fixed pricing for the initial year with potential annual adjustments subject to city approval, and incorporates DBE compliance provisions aligned with federal civil rights and nondiscrimination standards. Contractors must demonstrate authorization from named manufacturers and hold comprehensive insurance including workers' compensation, general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate, and automotive liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit. The code shows minimal activity in state and local procurement outside water utility infrastructure; most recent postings reflect administrative coding errors rather than genuine conveyor-equipment buying.
