UNSPSC 26101760: Choke rods

UNSPSC 26101760 Choke rods is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through tangentially related solicitations involving power generation, electrical systems, and motor repair rather than direct procurement of choke rods themselves. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for choke rods; instead, the code is associated with broader electrical and motor repair work at utility and government facilities. Volusia County, Florida has issued two ITBs for electric motor repair services (27B03LB and 26B134LS) covering repair of motors up to 100 horsepower at wastewater and water treatment facilities, with work including disassembly, rewinding, bearing replacement, and testing under three-year contracts. Other state and local bodies are procuring emergency generators, generator improvements, electrical power systems installation, and related infrastructure—categories that may incidentally use choke rod components within larger electrical assemblies but do not isolate them as standalone line items. The issuing-body mix reflects utility management agencies and county facilities departments rather than specialized motor-parts vendors.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with Volusia County appearing twice as a repeat buyer of motor repair services. The City of Atlanta, Georgia posted an RFP for emergency generator improvements with a November 10, 2026 response deadline, and Columbia County, Georgia issued ITBs for emergency backup generators across three facilities with a July 9, 2026 deadline. Fairfax County, Virginia resolicited electrical and emergency power systems installation contracts with an October 16, 2026 deadline, and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County solicited design-build-operate-maintain services for a waste-to-energy facility. The code shows no clear, recent direct-procurement activity for choke rods as an isolated product; opportunities tagged to this code appear to reflect mislabeling or incidental component procurement within larger electrical and power-generation system contracts. Firms pursuing this code should treat recent activity as a weak signal and verify scope alignment before investing in proposal development.
