UNSPSC 31171511: Pillow block bearings

UNSPSC 31171511 Pillow block bearings (Commodity) covers the acquisition of pillow block bearing assemblies and related component parts by state and local governments, typically for equipment maintenance, industrial plant operations, and machinery repair across public facilities. State and local issuing bodies procurement under this code includes state agencies, educational service consortia, and county purchasing departments. The bearings are sourced through both direct procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and institutional types.

Recent activity shows minimal volume. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW245782 in May 2026 for pillow block bearings and related component parts through the Educational Service and Business District (ESBD) cooperative purchasing consortium, with a bid opening scheduled for April 22, 2026; the solicitation permitted alternate manufacturers beyond the initially specified Moline Bearing brand, provided bidders submitted detailed specification sheets for evaluation. Williamson County Purchasing Department's July 2026 posting was an administrative relocation notice with no procurement scope. No other recent opportunities appear in the available records. Texas dominates the visible recent activity, driven by ESBD cooperative purchasing agreements that aggregate institutional demand across the state.
