UNSPSC 31171504: Ball bearings

UNSPSC 31171504 Ball bearings is a Commodity code that captures rolling-element bearings and associated components used in machinery, equipment, and facility maintenance across state and local operations. State and local procurement activity under this code remains limited in the available recent opportunities; the most concrete recent solicitation shows ball bearings and related fastening components embedded within broader parts-and-supplies procurement rather than as a standalone line item. When state and local governments do procure bearings under this taxonomy, they typically source them through general facilities-maintenance suppliers or equipment-repair vendors rather than as primary procurement targets. Issuing bodies include county departments of facilities and project management that maintain infrastructure, equipment, and building systems.

San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued ITB 6391 on May 18, 2026, a formal invitation to bid for parts and supplies supporting facility maintenance and repair operations with a June 19, 2026 response deadline. The procurement encompassed over 500 line items across multiple categories including motors, pumps, and mechanical components where ball bearings would typically appear; bidders could bid on a minimum of 20 items with pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis and delivery required within 14 days of purchase order receipt. San Bernardino County offered a 5 percent local vendor preference and reserved the right to award to the responsive, responsible bidder providing best value. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, though the recent-opportunities block contains insufficient density to characterize broader regional patterns. No other recent ball-bearings-specific opportunities appear in the available records.
