UNSPSC 27121705: Hydraulic or compression elbows

UNSPSC 27121705 Hydraulic or compression elbows is a Commodity code that covers fittings and connectors used in hydraulic systems across state and local equipment fleets, most actively solicited as part of broader hydraulic hose and component procurement packages rather than as standalone elbow products. State and local governments buy these components primarily to maintain and repair heavy equipment, compactors, vehicles, and construction machinery. The issuing bodies span city public works departments (Phoenix, Tampa, Atlanta), state transportation cabinets (Kentucky, Ohio), county equipment divisions (Seminole County), and municipal solid-waste operations (Tampa). Recent solicitations show elbows requested alongside hose assemblies, quick-connect couplings, fittings, and related hydraulic hardware on an as-needed, on-call, or master-agreement basis. Work ranges from fixed-price supply contracts for bulk component procurement to indefinite-quantity repair-and-maintenance agreements with on-site mobile-service capabilities.

The code sees the most recent activity in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-FSD-0353 (posted July 8, 2026, due August 13, 2026) for hydraulic hose repair and replacement services including fittings and associated hardware across multiple City service centers and airports on a three-year term with two one-year renewal options; the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet RFB 60526000005471 (issued April 20, 2026, closing May 7, 2026) for a master-agreement supply of Parker brand hydraulic couplers and hose assemblies totaling 1,230 units; the City of Tampa Solid Waste division RFQ 26-P-00365 (posted June 25, 2026, due June 5, 2026, re-quote) for 20 line items of hydraulic hose and fitting types including elbows, swivels, and quick connects; and the City of Atlanta Statement of Qualifications (posted March 23, 2026, due April 7, 2026) for on-site and mobile repair of hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and fittings. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction; Phoenix applies a Small Business Participation Plan, Kentucky offers reciprocal preferences and qualified-bidder set-asides, and most municipal buyers emphasize proof of insurance, prompt response to service calls, and OEM specification compliance.
