UNSPSC 26101117: Vertical hollowshaft motor AC

A type of definite purpose motor developed to meet the specific needs of the vertical turbine pump industry. Employs a hollow shaft through which a pump shaft is extended. Adjustments to lift the impellers and give a running clearance for the pump casing can be made by turning a nut threaded on the shaft which is accessible at the top portion of the motor. Vertical turbine pump shafts are usually composed of many lengths joined by screw thread couplings.

UNSPSC 26101117 Vertical hollowshaft motor AC is a Commodity code describing electric motors with vertical hollow-shaft configurations used in fluid-handling systems; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the category's nominal scope. The tagged solicitations span emergency backup generators, power distribution equipment, IT infrastructure cabling, engine repair services, and motor repair services — none of which are primarily vertical AC motors. The one opportunity that does address motor procurement — the Lee County Port Authority's RFB 26-0025BW for Baldor electric motors for baggage handling and air handling systems at Southwest Florida International Airport — specifies Baldor brand exclusively with no mention of hollow-shaft configuration, suggesting the tagging mismatch reflects broader state and local procurement practice rather than a discrete market signal. Issuing bodies appear across utility authorities (Clayton County Water Authority, Lee County Port Authority), county governments (Columbia County and DeKalb County, Georgia), a city (Dallas), and a state procurement cooperative (South Dakota via Sourcewell).

The geographic footprint concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with single opportunities in South Dakota and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Clayton County Water Authority's 2026-GS-03 Motor Repair Services Annual Contract (due March 6, 2026, sealed bid via Bonfire Portal for tear-down, inspection, repair, and rewinding of electric motors and submersible pump units across water and wastewater facilities), Columbia County, Georgia's 2026021-BID3289 Emergency Back-up Generators (due July 9, 2026, mandatory pre-bid June 17, 2026, for supply and installation at three county facilities), and the City of Dallas BT2600029808 for Emergency Generator Maintenance and Repairs (due May 15, 2026, three-year ID/IQ service agreement requiring 24/7 emergency response and load bank testing). The code shows little recent relevant activity; opportunities nominally tagged to it address broader power and mechanical services outside the vertical hollow-shaft motor category.
