UNSPSC 26101408: Motor pole

Component used to build servo torque motors.

UNSPSC 26101408 Motor pole (Commodity) encompasses repair and maintenance of electric motors up to 100 horsepower serving municipal water, wastewater, and lift-station infrastructure, though recent state and local solicitations show the code also tags generator procurement, emergency backup power installation, and unrelated electrical infrastructure work. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly county utilities departments and water authorities operating water treatment and wastewater facilities, supplemented by county and municipal government operations managing building infrastructure and emergency power systems. Volusia County, Florida has posted two motor repair contracts under the code within the past two months, indicating active procurement cycles for routine electric motor service at scale across multiple treatment plants and lift stations. The mix of issuing bodies reflects utilities-heavy demand—water authorities, county commissioners, and municipal service departments—with some cross-tagging into broader electrical and power-generation work that falls outside the motor pole commodity's core scope.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, and Virginia, driven by recent solicitations from Volusia County (two ITBs for electric motor repair, October 2026 and September 2026), Bay County, Florida (May 2026), Fairfax County, Virginia (RFP for electrical and emergency power systems, October 2026), Columbia County, Georgia (backup generator installation, June 2026), and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (waste-to-energy facility operations, September 2026). Volusia County's repeated demand for electric motor repair—with 24-hour response times, 15-month warranties, and multi-facility support across seven wastewater plants, nine water treatment plants, and 126 sewer lift stations—establishes a representative current use case. The ITB posted October 8, 2026 (27B03LB, due October 21, 2026) and the earlier ITB from September 25, 2026 (26B134LS) both specify repair of submersible pump motors and dry application motors on a cost-plus-markup pricing model with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. Contractors must maintain an office within one hour of the county and carry $1 million general liability and $1 million auto liability coverage. However, recent state and local tagging under this code also includes non-motor purchases—the South Dakota electrical power generation equipment RFP (Sourcewell, June 2026), the City of Atlanta generator installation (November 2026), and the DeKalb County IT and low-voltage infrastructure rebuild (July 2026)—indicating classification drift or cross-coding of power systems and electrical work into the motor pole category.
