UNSPSC 31171700: Gears

UNSPSC 31171700 Gears is a Class code that covers industrial gearboxes, gear assemblies, and related drivetrain components for fixed infrastructure and equipment replacement across state and local operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing specific gearbox models and assemblies for water treatment facilities, fish screen operations, and specialized industrial systems where exact part compatibility with existing equipment drives procurement. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and DeKalb County represent the mix of issuing bodies active under this code — state natural-resource agencies, county utility districts, and county facilities operations — each with narrow, specification-driven requirements for replacement gears and gearbox components. Work is typically a one-time purchase of exact or equivalent models rather than ongoing supply contracts.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Oregon's Department of Fish and Wildlife posted a quote for John Day Screen Shop gearbox assemblies (Hub City Gearbox cradles and paddlewheel components, four units each of four types, delivery by August 13, 2026) under an intermediate procurement due June 11, 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) on April 23, 2026 for two Dodge Torque-Arm II heavy duty speed reducers and four taper bushing kits totaling $30,400.00 for delivery to its Northwest Water Reclamation Facility by May 8, 2026. DeKalb County, Georgia posted a reconstruction ITB for the DeKalb Tennis Center on June 9, 2026 with a July 13, 2026 response date; while the primary scope is facility rebuilding, the specification includes IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation work that does not align with industrial gearbox procurement. The code shows modest, sporadic activity concentrated in water-treatment and fish-screen operations rather than broad-based demand.
