UNSPSC 26111913: Clutch hold back unit

This is a type of clutch which has a ratchet and pawl mechanism inside which will allow rotation only in one direction.

UNSPSC 26111913 Clutch hold back unit is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source shows state and local governments actually soliciting brake components and hold-back systems for vehicle fleets and specialized equipment, though recent opportunities tagged under this code diverge significantly from brake-system procurement as traditionally understood. Pinellas County School District (Florida) issued an ITB for motor vehicle brake parts—pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters—valued at approximately $190,000 annually for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers, with bids due August 24, 2026. Broward County (Florida) issued a Request for Information challenging a sole-source designation for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps installation, parts, and maintenance for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades; the systems must provide secure holding under all operating conditions and function as emergency stopping mechanisms. The remaining recent opportunities in the source—a DeKalb County tennis-center reconstruction project tagged for IT and low-voltage infrastructure, an Atlanta BeltLine informational session for construction trades, and a Sourcewell cooperative law-enforcement-equipment procurement—show no connection to clutch hold back units or brake systems and represent clear code-tagging mismatches rather than indicative activity.

The code sees solicitation activity primarily from Florida school districts and county authorities in the Southeastern United States, with the Pinellas County School District and Broward County representing the only recent opportunities bearing direct relevance to brake and hold-back components. Geographic scope is limited to Florida based on the recent record; the Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment, though multi-jurisdictional across Washington state and beyond, does not reflect brake or hold-back-unit scope. The Pinellas County ITB accepts Florida businesses with a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference, and suppliers must be located within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center; all components must be factory-approved, OEM-certified, and new or remanufactured as specified. The Broward County RFI does not carry a purchase commitment but invites vendors to contest or propose alternatives to the current sole-source designation. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume and warrants close monitoring for emerging opportunities in specialized brake and hold-back systems for government fleets and infrastructure equipment.
