UNSPSC 26112003: Clutch plates

UNSPSC 26112003 Clutch plates (Commodity) shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect clutch plate procurement; instead, they span brake system components (specifically rail-mounted crane braking systems), IT infrastructure cabling, general construction trades, and law enforcement equipment. Of these, only the Broward County brake-system solicitation touches on mechanical brake components, though it targets Bubenzer brake assemblies and storm rail clamps for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades rather than discrete clutch plates. The issuing bodies in the opportunity block include a county port authority (Broward County), a county government (DeKalb County), a regional development authority (Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.), and a statewide cooperative purchasing entity (Sourcewell). The geographic spread centers on Georgia and South Florida, with Sourcewell's cooperative encompassing Washington state and multiple U.S. jurisdictions nationwide.

The most directly relevant solicitation is Broward County's RFI (BLD6232026F12) issued June 23, 2026, due July 1, 2026, contesting a sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake systems and rail clamps; the RFI invites vendors to demonstrate comparable capability or contest the designation, covering supply, installation, upgrades, repairs, service, and maintenance of brake systems for container gantry cranes. The remaining opportunities—DeKalb County's ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a reconstructed tennis center (due July 13, 2026), Atlanta BeltLine's informational session for trail construction trades (ended May 21, 2026), and Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026)—lack material connection to clutch plate procurement. The code shows sparse relevant activity; state and local procurement under this Commodity appears minimal or misaligned with current tagging practices.
