UNSPSC 31171513: Hanger bearings

UNSPSC 31171513 Hanger bearings (Commodity) covers fabrication and supply of bearing hangers — mechanical assemblies that support rotating shafts in industrial equipment — as purchased by state and local water and wastewater utilities. The City of Lubbock, Texas recently solicited fabrication of four complete sets of auger bearing hangers and shafts for its South East Water Reclamation Plant, specifying corrosion-resistant steel and stainless steel construction with AWS D1.1 welding standards and a one-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal utilities and special-purpose water districts. Scope includes both component fabrication to specification and assembly of complete hanger-and-shaft units ready for installation in treatment plant equipment.

The City of Lubbock issued ITB 26-19467-MA for bearing hanger fabrication on February 7, 2026, with bids due February 24, 2026 at 3 p.m., with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on February 17, 2026 via Zoom. The solicitation emphasized local business preference under Texas Local Government Code 271.9051, allowing local bidders within five percent of the lowest price to compete on best value including local employment and tax revenue; HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) compliance was an evaluation criterion. Bidders were required to submit three professional references from similar projects, fabrication timelines, material data sheets, and a five-year project history, with firm pricing for a minimum of 60 days including all labor, materials, delivery, and packaging. The source shows limited recent activity under the code; apart from the Lubbock ITB, the most recent posted record is an administrative notice of relocation by Williamson County Purchasing Department with no procurement scope.
