UNSPSC 31163011: Jaw coupling

A type of coupling device that requires no lubrication and has no metal to metal contact.

UNSPSC 31163011 Jaw coupling is a Commodity code that does not see relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement record. The code's scope nominally covers mechanical jaw couplings used to connect rotating shafts in industrial equipment, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve telecom parts and tools, HVAC equipment and refrigerants, janitorial supplies, station alerting audio components, law enforcement equipment, washing machine parts, and general hardware and lumber — none of which are jaw couplings or related mechanical power transmission components. The six recent solicitations span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple HVAC and telecom parts procurements), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (janitorial supplies for fire rescue), City of Austin (station alerting audio parts), Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties (law enforcement equipment cooperative), Illinois Department of Corrections (washing machine parts), and Donna Independent School District in Texas (general hardware and lumber catalog bid). The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests either data-entry error in the tagging or a taxonomy misclassification.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for jaw couplings or comparable mechanical coupling products appear in the source material. The code shows no identifiable procurement activity in specific states or jurisdictions that would support a market assessment.
