UNSPSC 31171527: Bearing cones

UNSPSC 31171527 Bearing cones (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local procurement offices tag inconsistently — recent activity under this code shows minimal relevance to actual bearing cone procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code include a raw water intake ball valve purchase and installation at a Texas utility, a county purchasing department relocation notice, and a multi-category facilities parts and supplies solicitation spanning HVAC components, electrical supplies, plumbing materials, and building hardware. None of these align with bearing cone specification or sourcing. The code appears to catch state and local facilities and utility maintenance work through imprecise tagging rather than to reflect systematic procurement of bearing cones themselves.

The geographic activity visible in the source is limited to Texas and California. West Travis County Public Utility Agency (WTCPUA) posted an RFQ for raw water treatment plant valve removal and installation on August 13, 2026 with a response deadline of September 2, 2026; the scope centers on DeZURIK metal-seated ball valve replacement with modulating actuators and supporting site work rather than bearing procurement. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued ITB 6391 on May 18, 2026 for over 500 facility maintenance line items due June 19, 2026, offering a 5 percent local vendor preference. No recent opportunities specifically solicit bearing cones as a primary commodity.
