UNSPSC 31171608: Bushing blank

A solid metallic item, usually cylindrical, with or without a flange at one end which is designed to be inserted into a hole to reduce the inside diameter of the hole and protect the surrounding body structure from damage resulting from stress, strain and/or vibration.

UNSPSC 31171608 Bushing blank, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities record does not reflect sourcing of bushing blanks or mechanical fastening components. Instead, the three posted solicitations—a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and two Jacksonville Transportation Authority automated transit vehicle procurements—fall outside the mechanical or electromechanical component category the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local contracting for its intended product line.

The geographic footprint of recorded activity spans Washington state (through the Sourcewell cooperative serving Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and Florida (through the JTA, serving the state and continental United States transit agencies). However, none of these opportunities involve bushing blanks or related components. The Sourcewell solicitation #061626 (RFP, due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement equipment across thousands of governmental entities, while the JTA procurements (P26009, due March 23, 2026, and P24019, due September 30, 2024) seek SAE Level 4 automated transit vehicles. Unless state and local procurement offices are tagging automated vehicles and law enforcement systems with this Commodity code in error, activity under 31171608 for its stated product scope appears absent from the recent opportunities record.
