UNSPSC 26101791: Main bearings

Crankshaft main bearings and thrust washers used in internal combustion engines.

UNSPSC 26101791 Main bearings (Commodity tier) names a single product line, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement of bearing components themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting repair, maintenance, and parts supply services for transit fleets, school buses, and county vehicles where bearings function as subordinate components within larger engine and drivetrain systems. The code appears underutilized for standalone bearing procurement; recent opportunities tagged under it actually address engine overhauls, fleet parts supply, and comprehensive vehicle repair services that incidentally include bearing work as part of transmission, axle, and cooling system renewal.

Activity is concentrated in Florida (Broward County Transportation, Seminole County Public Schools, Sarasota County Schools), Georgia (City of Atlanta), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Nevada (Department of Transportation), with sporadic solicitations from school districts and transit authorities rather than systematic bearing procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Broward County Transportation's open-end contract for Cummins engines and chassis system repair (ITB TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026), which encompasses drive axles and transmissions where bearings are embedded components, and Broward County's mid-life rolling stock repower overhaul services (ITB TRN2131187B1, due February 23, 2026) requiring engine replacement and complete renewal of major systems including driveline components. Rockwood School District (RFB 2614202, due April 9, 2026) and Seminole County Public Schools (ITB 25260067B-TL, due January 8, 2026) both solicit bus and fleet vehicle parts and repairs where bearings are incidental to broader maintenance scope. The code does not surface as a primary procurement vehicle for bearing suppliers; vendors pursuing activity here should position bearing supply as an ancillary service within larger fleet maintenance or remanufactured engine agreements rather than as standalone commodity procurement.
