UNSPSC 26101401: Armature

UNSPSC 26101401 Armature is a Commodity code covering electric motor components and related equipment that state and local governments procure primarily for facility infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment operations, and transportation fleet maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing standalone generators and generator maintenance services, electric motors for airport baggage handling systems, motor repair and rewinding services for water authorities, and power distribution equipment for convention centers. The scope diverges from the abstract code name: while "Armature" nominally refers to rotor windings, the actual procurements under this code encompass complete motor units, backup power generation systems, motor repair labor, and associated electrical distribution infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county governments (Columbia County and Clayton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia), municipal transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department in Florida), port authorities (Lee County Port Authority in Florida), city procurement offices (City of Dallas), state agencies (South Dakota through Sourcewell), and special-purpose districts (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Clayton County Water Authority). County water authorities and transportation departments appear as repeat buyers seeking ongoing maintenance and repair contracts; city and county facilities procurement offices solicit capital equipment purchases.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, South Dakota, and Texas. Columbia County, Georgia issued dual solicitations (both closing July 9, 2026) for supply and installation of emergency backup generators at three county facilities under IFB 2026021-BID3289 and PE63600NONST2026, requiring Georgia General Contractor's License, bid bonds at 5 percent of bid amount, and mandatory pre-bid attendance June 17, 2026, with electronic submission through Bonfire Interactive and public bid opening via WebEx. The City of Dallas sought a three-year ID/IQ service agreement (BT2600029808, due May 15, 2026) for emergency generator maintenance, repairs, and load bank testing across multiple generator brands with 24/7 emergency response (30-minute acknowledgment, two-hour on-site arrival), 10.10 percent DRIVE participation target, and $23.06 per hour prevailing wage floor. Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia posted motor repair services contracts (2026-GS-03, due March 6, 2026) for tear-down, diagnosis, repair, rewinding, and testing of electric motors ranging from fractional to 500-horsepower units across water treatment facilities, with 10 percent SLBE bid discount for Clayton County certified firms and multiple awards intended. Lee County Port Authority solicited Baldor electric motors exclusively (RFB 26-0025BW, due April 20, 2026) for Southwest Florida International Airport baggage and air handling systems on a three-year contract with two optional two-year renewals and annual price adjustments tied to Bureau of Labor Statistics indices.
