UNSPSC 26111519: Torque converters

UNSPSC 26111519 Torque converters is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The single substantive opportunity appearing under this code involves Broward County's Request for Information challenging a sole-source designation for Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. brake systems and rail clamps at Port Everglades container gantry cranes—a procurement focused on crane brake assemblies and emergency stopping mechanisms rather than automotive torque converters. The remaining opportunities in the block (DeKalb County tennis center IT infrastructure, Atlanta BeltLine trail corridor construction, and Sourcewell law enforcement equipment) show no material connection to torque-converter procurement. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting torque converters under this code at present.

The Broward County RFI (solicitation BLD6232026F12, due July 1, 2026) represents the only relevant recent activity and seeks responses from vendors capable of supplying, installing, and maintaining brake and clamping systems for port container handling equipment. This RFI is an information-gathering step to test whether Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. holds a genuine monopoly on the specified systems or whether equivalent capability exists from alternative suppliers. Respondents must upload supporting documentation demonstrating technical comparability and availability from multiple sources through Broward County's electronic bidding system; the Director of Purchasing retains final authority to determine comparability and designate sole-source or brand-specific status. No other recent state or local procurement signals appear under this code.
