UNSPSC 27121706: Ferrule nuts

UNSPSC 27121706 Ferrule nuts (Commodity) encompasses hydraulic hose components, fittings, and assembly services that state and local governments procure to maintain and repair vehicle and equipment fleets. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying complete hydraulic hose assemblies, quick-connect couplings, elbows, swivels, bushings, and related fittings—often as part of broader on-site and mobile repair service contracts rather than as standalone parts purchases. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, state transportation cabinets, county equipment divisions, and city solid waste programs, with repeat activity from the City of Tampa, the City of Phoenix, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Work ranges from as-needed supply contracts for compactor and heavy-equipment operations to multi-year master agreements for fleet maintenance.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's IFB 27-FSD-0353 (due August 13, 2026) for mobile hydraulic hose repair and replacement services at municipal service centers and aviation facilities, responding to emergency calls within two hours; the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's RFB for Parker brand hydraulic couplers and hoses (due May 7, 2026) totaling 1,230 units across ten line items; the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00365 (due June 5, 2026) for hydraulic hoses and fittings to support compactor operations on a monthly or as-needed basis; and Seminole County, Florida's RFP for on and off-road heavy equipment maintenance, repairs, and parts (due September 3, 2025) including hydraulic system work. Activity concentrates in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Arizona, and Georgia, with solicitations using IFB, RFP, RFQ, and RFB notice types. Contracts typically specify FOB destination delivery, firm pricing for 12 months, proof of insurance requirements, and prompt-payment compliance under state law. No federal set-asides or preferences are visible in the recent records, though Kentucky resident bidders receive reciprocal preference and qualified-bidder designations apply.
