UNSPSC 26101505: Steam engines

UNSPSC 26101505 Steam engines is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure repair, replacement, and installation services for electric motors, generators, boiler systems, and related power-generation infrastructure serving water and wastewater treatment facilities, transit fleets, airport operations, and municipal buildings. Recent solicitations show that purchasing activity under this code spans motor repair contracts, emergency backup generator installation, fuel-fired power plant component procurement, and integrated electrical and power systems design-build services—a scope considerably broader than the nominal "steam engines" descriptor. The issuing bodies include county utilities departments, municipal agencies, transit authorities, housing authorities, and special-purpose districts such as port authorities and solid waste authorities. Volusia County, Florida has posted multiple competitive electric motor repair ITBs within the past two months, establishing itself as a repeat buyer seeking 24-hour and 16-hour emergency response capabilities across seven wastewater and nine water treatment facilities. Other repeat or significant recent activity appears in Georgia (Columbia County emergency generator backup installation, DeKalb County infrastructure reconstruction, and an unidentified Georgia entity procuring exhaust gas compensators for a 56.8 MW power plant), Florida (City of Atlanta generator installation, Bay County building system renovation, Harrisburg Housing Authority boiler steam line riser repairs), and South Dakota (Sourcewell electrical power generation equipment cooperative contract).

Recent representative opportunities include Volusia County ITB 27B03LB for electric motor repair services across water and wastewater facilities, with responses due October 21, 2026, structured as a three-year contract with two optional one-year renewals and requiring 24-hour regular and 16-hour emergency response times; the City of Atlanta RFQ for emergency generator improvements covering 40 fixed units, 10 portable hookups, and 5 portable generators with installation due by November 10, 2026; Fairfax County, Virginia RFP 2000004461 for electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement (a resolicitation to expand contractor capacity, proposals due October 16, 2026); and Harrisburg Housing Authority IFB 2026-08 for boiler steam supply line riser repairs at residential properties, with mandatory pre-bid site visits required between June 22 and July 10, 2026, bids due August 1, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and HUD Section 3 employment requirements. The Broward County Transportation Department open-end contract for Cummins engine and chassis system repair for transit buses (solicitation TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026) and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County RFEI 27-501 for demolition, design, build, operation, and maintenance of a new mass-burn waste-to-energy facility (submissions due November 18, 2026, with Industry Day December 10, 2026) represent larger integrated project structures. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota through cooperative purchasing.
