UNSPSC 26111517: Planet carrier

UNSPSC 26111517 Planet carrier is a Commodity code that covers mechanical power-transmission components, specifically the rotating or stationary frames and housings that support gear meshes and shaft systems in industrial machinery. State and local governments procure planet carriers primarily as replacement parts or components for heavy equipment maintenance and repairs — including transit buses, public-works vehicles, water and wastewater treatment machinery, and facility mechanical systems. The issuing bodies are typically fleet maintenance departments within transit authorities, county public-works divisions, and municipal facilities management offices.

The recent opportunities block contains one record that does not reflect actual planet-carrier procurement: DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026) solicits IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure installation, which falls outside the scope of mechanical drivetrain components. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity; the mismatch between the code tag and the actual work being purchased signals sparse market demand for planet carriers through standard state and local procurement channels.
