UNSPSC 31171552: Thrust ball bearing

A ball bearing which is used in cases where the load is applied to the shaft direction. This is mainly used for mid- to low speed.

UNSPSC 31171552 Thrust ball bearing is a Commodity code that covers precision rolling-element bearings used in rotating machinery and equipment across state and local operations. State and local governments purchase thrust ball bearings as maintenance, repair, and replacement components for facilities infrastructure, fleet vehicles, HVAC systems, pumps, industrial equipment, and specialized machinery. The bearings are typically sourced through maintenance and repair supply contracts, equipment replacement programs, and industrial-parts inventory replenishment. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments, state facility-management agencies, school district maintenance operations, municipal public works divisions, and transit authorities maintaining rolling stock and stationary plant.

The most-recent state and local opportunities block contains no active solicitations for thrust ball bearings. A single posting from Williamson County Purchasing Department (Texas) dated July 14, 2026 announces a department relocation and contains no procurement scope or contract opportunity. Without recent posted activity, the code shows no current basis for geographic characterization or representative-opportunity analysis. Firms tracking this code should monitor Texas counties and state facility-operations procurement offices for maintenance supply and equipment replacement RFQs and IFBs over the coming quarters.
