UNSPSC 26101763: Freeze plugs

UNSPSC 26101763 Freeze plugs is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code—electric motor repair services, emergency generator installation, electrical and power systems work, waste-to-energy facility construction, lift station motor control center installation, exhaust gas compensators, and bus fleet engine repair—represent infrastructure and equipment maintenance or construction projects but do not reflect actual procurement of freeze plugs as discrete components. Freeze plugs are small metal or rubber sealing devices used in engine cooling systems, yet the solicitations tagged to this code involve much larger systems integration, facility renovation, and fleet maintenance contracts that do not align with purchasing individual freeze plug inventory or kits. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Volusia County, Bay County, Columbia County, DeKalb County in Florida and Georgia; Broward County in Florida), municipalities (City of Atlanta, City of Bartow in Florida), special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Lee County Port Authority), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department), and a state procurement vehicle (South Dakota via Sourcewell). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in South Carolina and Virginia.

The mismatch between the code's name and the work being solicited—coupled with the absence of recent opportunities that actually involve purchasing freeze plugs—signals that this code does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement markets aligned with its intended commodity scope. Firms evaluating this code should verify categorization during RFP and RFQ reviews, as the tag appears to be applied inconsistently or as a default classification for broader motor and mechanical system work rather than for freeze plug supply chains specifically.
