UNSPSC 24101733: Conveyor return idler bracket

A return idler bracket is generally fabricated from mild steel mostly in 'L' or 'J' shape.

UNSPSC 24101733 Conveyor return idler bracket is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to classify specialized conveyor system parts and components, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal relevant activity. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has issued the most substantive recent opportunity under this classification—a comprehensive eight-year conveyor system equipment contract (IFB-25-0748, due May 23, 2025) that encompasses 185 specific conveyor components including specialized parts, detection systems, and control equipment from authorized distributors such as SEW-Eurodrive, Spaans Babcock, and Woerner. The remaining recent opportunities tagged to this code involve traffic signal infrastructure, road construction, paving services, and related transportation projects that fall outside the nominal scope of conveyor idler brackets and subordinate conveyor components.

The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (conveyor return idler bracket) and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code inconsistently or that the recent solicitations reflect a broader family-level tagging rather than a precise commodity-level classification. Phoenix represents the primary active buyer under this code for work that actually aligns with conveyor equipment procurement. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (Brownsville, Fort Worth, Dallas) and Florida (Pasco County), but those solicitations address traffic signal modernization and roadway construction rather than conveyor systems. The Phoenix opportunity requires vendors to be authorized distributors with a minimum five years of experience in conveyor belts, participate in a pre-offer conference on May 14, 2025, and submit proposals by May 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM. Bidders must provide detailed pricing, manufacturer information, and delivery estimates for all 185 line items, with evaluation based on technical capability, manpower availability, equipment, safety record, and company history. If pursuing opportunities under this code, focus on the Phoenix procurement and clarify with potential customers whether they are using this commodity code for conveyor-specific work or applying it as a catch-all for equipment procurement more broadly.
