UNSPSC 31171708: Bevel gears

UNSPSC 31171708 Bevel gears is a Commodity code that encompasses industrial drivetrain components, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows limited direct procurement of bevel gears alone. The most concrete recent opportunity tagged to this code is Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITQ 2600239, a one-time purchase of two Dodge taper bushed reducer gearboxes and four taper bushing kits totaling $30,400 for the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility in Tampa, Florida. This procurement involved exact-specification sourcing with no substitutes accepted due to system compatibility requirements. Beyond that, a West Basin Municipal Water District RFP (RFPTH0143) for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water and pumping facilities in Los Angeles County and a DeKalb County ITB for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center were also tagged to this code but represent tangential or misclassified activity—neither centers on bevel gear procurement or supply.

Recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse and concentrated in two states: Florida and Georgia, with one opportunity in California. Water utilities and county governments dominate the issuing bodies. Hillsborough County's May 2026 ITQ remains the most directly relevant recent opportunity; West Basin's October 2026 RFP, with a not-to-exceed contract value of $1,000,000 over two years and a potential one-year extension, involves motor and pump repair services and does not center on bevel gear components. This code shows little active state and local procurement momentum for bevel gears or closely related industrial gearbox components at present. Suppliers interested in this category should monitor water utility capital and equipment-replacement cycles, where gearbox and drivetrain components may appear episodically rather than as steady-state solicitation activity.
