UNSPSC 26101403: Motor brake

UNSPSC 26101403 Motor brake, a Commodity code, encompasses electric motor repair services for water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, emergency generator installation and related power systems work, and motor component procurement — the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code today. Volusia County, Florida has posted two recent ITBs (26-B-03LB and 26B134LS) for electric motor repair across seven wastewater facilities, nine water treatment facilities, and 126 sewer lift stations, requiring contractors to provide disassembly, rewinding, baking and dipping, bearing and heat strip replacement, reassembly, testing, and painting for motors up to 100 horsepower, with 24-hour response times for regular service calls and 16-hour emergency response. The City of Atlanta and Fairfax County, Virginia are also active — Atlanta released an RFP for fixed and portable emergency generator installation (40 fixed units, 10 hookups, 5 portable generators) due November 10, 2026, and Fairfax County resolicited an RFP for electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement (RFP 2000004461, proposals due October 16, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water and wastewater utilities and county governments, with secondary activity from cities, airport authorities, and transit departments; Volusia County appears twice as a repeat buyer of motor repair services within the recent posting window.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with representation from South Carolina and Virginia. The Volusia County motor repair ITBs (both with 3 percent local preference for the Brevard-Volusia six-county region) represent the most mature opportunity track — contracts are three-year terms with two one-year renewals, cost-plus markup pricing evaluated on a sample job list, and minimum 15-month warranties required. Bay County, Florida's lift station motor control center renovation (Solicitation 2632, bids due September 2, 2026) and Columbia County, Georgia's backup generator installation (Solicitation 2026021-BID3289, bids due July 9, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid June 17) show broader infrastructure modernization demand. Lee County Port Authority's motor procurement (RFB 26-0025BW, closed April 20, 2026) and Broward County Transportation's Cummins engine and chassis repair contract (TRN2132053B1, closed June 1, 2026) indicate sustained replacement and maintenance cycles across airports and transit fleets. Response windows average 30 to 60 days; insurance requirements typically include $1 million general liability minimum and workers' compensation; and most awards default to lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluation.
