UNSPSC 26112002: Driven plate

UNSPSC 26112002 Driven plate is a Commodity code that captures mechanical brake and restraint components for industrial equipment, primarily container gantry cranes and similar material-handling machinery. State and local governments procure these parts through capital equipment acquisitions, facility maintenance contracts, and port or transit authority operations. The recent sourcing activity centers on brake systems and rail clamps—specifically Bubenzer-brand components—that provide holding force and emergency stopping for container cranes at major port facilities. Issuing bodies include county ports and transit infrastructure agencies; Broward County, operating Port Everglades, is the primary recent buyer under this code.

The code shows minimal recent geographic spread in the state and local market, with current activity concentrated in South Florida. Broward County's June 2026 RFI (Solicitation BLD6232026F12) challenged a sole-source designation for Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. and sought competitive evidence that equivalent brake and rail-clamp systems exist from other suppliers. The RFI, due July 1, 2026, asks prospective vendors to submit documentation proving capability to meet or exceed the County's requirements for supply, installation, upgrades, repairs, service, and maintenance of brake systems at Port Everglades container gantry cranes. The RFI is informational rather than a formal procurement commitment and does not request pricing. The Director of Purchasing retains final authority to determine whether to break the sole-source designation. No other recent state or local opportunities directly matching the driven-plate commodity scope appear in the available records; the code shows sparse recent activity in the broader state and local procurement landscape.
