UNSPSC 26101404: Motor brush

UNSPSC 26101404 Motor brush is a Commodity code covering replacement and repair parts for electric motors. State and local governments buy motor brushes primarily as components in service contracts for electric motor repair and maintenance—not as standalone procurement items. The recent solicitation activity shows that brushes enter the procurement stream as part of comprehensive motor repair services rather than as direct material purchases. Volusia County's repeated ITBs for electric motor repair (solicitations 27B03LB and 26B134LS, posted October 8 and September 25, 2026, respectively) specify disassembly, inspection, rewinding, bearing replacement, heat-strip replacement, reassembly, testing, and painting of motors up to 100 horsepower across wastewater and water treatment infrastructure. These repair scopes implicitly include brush replacement during the rewind and reassembly phases. The code sees activity from water and wastewater authorities, county facilities management, and transportation departments, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement of motor brushes as a standalone line item—they are embedded in broader motor repair and maintenance services.

Volusia County, Florida dominates the recent activity under this code, with two separate ITBs for electric motor repair services spanning municipal water, wastewater, and lift-station infrastructure. Geographic concentration is limited; Georgia appears once in the opportunities (a July 2026 procurement for exhaust gas system compensators and gaskets for a power plant), and South Dakota posted a Sourcewell electrical power generation equipment RFP in May 2026 that may include motor-related components. The Lee County Port Authority's April 2026 RFB for Baldor electric motors for airport baggage and air handling systems represents a direct purchase opportunity, though the focus there is on complete motor units rather than brushes as replacement parts. Real-time market signals are weak: motor brushes enter state and local procurement predominantly through service-contract language specifying motor repair work, not through standalone material requisitions, making this a code with limited visibility and transaction volume in the recent opportunities record.
