UNSPSC 26101768: Turbine shaft

The turbine shaft is the very important part of the turbine. The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft with blades attached.

UNSPSC 26101768 Turbine shaft (Commodity) covers replacement drive shaft units for municipal water treatment equipment, specifically dual-shaft drive systems installed in water softening and clarification systems. State and local water utilities procure these turbine shafts as capital replacements when existing units reach end-of-service life or require upgrade to maintain treatment plant operations. The City of Holly Hill, Florida's 2026 procurement exemplifies the scope: a complete WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement for softener #2, including turnkey removal, installation, and startup services priced at $113,067. Issuing bodies under this code are municipal water treatment authorities and city water departments conducting facility maintenance and infrastructure renewal. The procurement carries no set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder type when sole source justification applies, as in Holly Hill's case where the manufacturer is exclusive.

The City of Holly Hill represents the only recent state-local opportunity identified under this code. The procurement was posted April 13, 2026, with a City Commission adoption date of September 22, 2020—a significant timing discrepancy in the source data. Holly Hill followed sole source purchasing procedures including electronic advertisement for a minimum of five business days and documented attempts to locate alternative suppliers. WesTech Engineering, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer, with Moss-Kelley, Inc. serving as the authorized municipal representative for equipment and parts support in the Holly Hill area. Pricing was valid for thirty days from the September 1, 2020 proposal date, with fourteen-week equipment shipment time from purchase order receipt and a five-year manufacturer warranty. The procurement's funding source was the Birmingham Avenue Water Main Replacement Capital Project, indicating integration with broader municipal water infrastructure renewal cycles.
