UNSPSC 31171712: Worm gears

UNSPSC 31171712 Worm gears is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers specialized industrial transmission and mechanical equipment — specifically, taper bushed reducer gearboxes and associated components used in water treatment and utility infrastructure. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITQ in April 2026 for two Dodge Torque-Arm II heavy duty single and double reduction speed reducers and four taper bushing kits for the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility in Tampa, Florida, with a project estimate of $30,400.00. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county boards of commissioners and county departments managing water resources and utility infrastructure; repeat procurement appears limited, with single solicitations identified in the recent opportunity set.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Hillsborough County ITQ closed May 8, 2026, requiring delivery within 30 days of purchase order receipt to the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility. Two additional recent opportunities posted in Georgia — a Gwinnett County competitive sealed bid (due May 8, 2026) for replacement of particle counters at water filter plants, and a DeKalb County ITB for tennis center reconstruction — tag the code but do not reflect gearbox or worm-gear procurement; the particle counter and IT infrastructure work appear miscoded under the worm gears commodity. The Hillsborough County procurement represents the clearest alignment with the code's scope and signals active demand for industrial reduction gearboxes in water utility operations.
