UNSPSC 26101416: Alternator fan

A fan blade inside or outside the alternator that protects the system by helping dissipate heat generated during working process.

UNSPSC 26101416 Alternator fan is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the solicitations currently posted in the source. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve emergency generators, generator services, electrical equipment procurement, and infrastructure systems installation—none of which are primarily about alternator fans as a discrete component or spare part.

The recent solicitations describe full generator systems (125 kW to 750 kW standby diesel units with automatic transfer switches, concrete pads, and installation labor), generator preventive maintenance and repair services across hundreds of units, three-year term contracts for generator services at county buildings, and specialized electrical infrastructure work such as communications systems, meter test boards, and low-voltage IT/AV cabling. A small number of opportunities involve electrical supplies and parts procurement on a catalog or as-needed basis, but these are broad-based solicitations spanning conduit, ballasts, fuses, connectors, and other components—not alternator fans specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Volusia County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District), county governments (Beaufort County, Cobb County, Orange County, Henry County, DeKalb County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Tallahassee, Arlington, Dallas, Fort Myers, Ocala), and special-purpose authorities (Bergen County Utilities Authority, City Colleges of Chicago, Seminole County, Peachtree City Airport Authority). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in South Carolina, Michigan, and Illinois.

The mismatch between the code's name and recent procurement content suggests either miscoding in the source data or incidental tagging of related equipment. Firms pursuing alternator fan sales to state and local buyers should not rely on this code as a reliable filtering mechanism; pursue generator maintenance contracts and full-system procurements instead, where alternator replacement or repair may emerge as a line item within broader scope.
