UNSPSC 31171529: Bearing cups

UNSPSC 31171529 Bearing cups (Commodity) covers mechanical bearing components procured by state and local governments for facility operations, water infrastructure, and equipment maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations show acquisition of bearing-related items as part of broader facilities-maintenance and water-treatment-plant operations, though the code also captures discrete bearing and bearing-cup procurement for equipment repair and replacement. State and local buyers under this code include public utility agencies, county facilities-management departments, and municipal public-works entities. The work ranges from replacement bearings and bearing cups for rotating equipment (pumps, motors, and valve actuators) to full bearing assemblies supporting mechanical systems in water plants, county facilities, and infrastructure installations.

West Travis County Public Utility Agency (WTCPUA) issued RFQ RFQRWIBALLVALVEPUMP120260902 on August 13, 2026, requesting purchase and installation of motor-operated ball valves with AUMA modulating actuators at its Water Treatment Plant in Austin, Texas, with responses due September 2, 2026. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued ITB 6391 on May 18, 2026, for parts and supplies supporting facility maintenance across over 500 line items including motors, pumps, and related mechanical components, with bids due June 19, 2026. Recent activity under this code concentrates in Texas and California, with procurement split between specialized water-utility valve replacement (requiring bearing-cup components in actuator and pump assemblies) and generalized county facilities-maintenance supply acquisition. The code shows limited standalone bearing-cup solicitation in recent state and local notices; most activity reflects bearing and bearing-cup procurement embedded within larger equipment or maintenance contracts rather than discrete RFQs or ITBs for bearing components alone.
