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 that spans a narrow product category—replacement alternators and starter motors sourced by transit agencies, school districts, county fleet operations, and municipal water utilities. State and local governments buy these components primarily as maintenance stock for heavy-duty bus fleets, municipal vehicles, water treatment facility equipment, and emergency power systems, typically through annual supply agreements or on-demand procurement from parts distributors. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in fleet maintenance renewal cycles: Pinellas County Schools issued a request for new, remanufactured, and rebuilt alternators and starters with a two-calendar-day delivery requirement to four bus compounds; Columbus Consolidated Government sought alternators and starters for METRA Transit on a 72-hour repair turnaround basis; Brevard County used just-in-time inventory management for fleet parts including alternators across its 1,114-vehicle asset base. School districts and transit authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by county fleet services, municipal transit systems, and water utilities managing backup power systems.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Texas and the Midwest. Representative opportunities include Pinellas County Schools' sealed electronic bid for alternators and starters (RFQ #26-AM-006, due March 24, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's Request for Bids for alternators and starters supporting METRA transit (RFB 26-0029, due March 11, 2026), and Brevard County's just-in-time supplier solicitation for fleet maintenance inventory including alternators (due February 25, 2026). All three used ITB or RFQ mechanisms with firm pricing structures and multi-year initial terms. The code shows consistent procurement rhythm aligned with fleet maintenance cycles and equipment replacement schedules, with no concentration among particular vendors or jurisdictions.
