UNSPSC 31171534: Tapped base bearing

Mounted bearing having tapped holes in its base for attachment.

UNSPSC 31171534 Tapped base bearing is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code infrequently; recent activity shows minimal direct procurement of the bearing itself. The West Travis County Public Utility Agency's August 2026 RFQ for raw water intake ball valve purchase and installation nominally tagged to this code actually solicits complete valve assemblies with actuators, installation labor, crane services, and commissioning—a scope that extends well beyond a single bearing component. The San Bernardino County ITB 6391 for facility maintenance parts and supplies, also tagged to this code, covers over 500 line items spanning HVAC components, electrical supplies, motors, pumps, plumbing materials, and general building supplies with no specific bearing callout. The Williamson County notice is administrative relocation and does not represent procurement activity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either broad internal tagging practices at these jurisdictions or misclassification of the opportunities themselves.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The West Travis County Public Utility Agency (Austin area) issued an RFQ due September 2, 2026 for motor-operated metal-seated raw water ball valves and installation services, requiring vendors to demonstrate experience with large-diameter water treatment plant valve work and recommending a site visit. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued an ITB due June 19, 2026 for a broad procurement of maintenance parts and supplies with a 5 percent local vendor preference and Net 60 payment terms. Neither opportunity specifies contract value or incumbent information. The code shows limited recent procurement signaling; bidders pursuing state and local work under this code should verify actual commodity alignment in RFQ and IFB documents rather than rely on the UNSPSC tag alone.
