UNSPSC 31171719: Right angle gearbox

Right angle gearboxes are characterized by the fact that the drive shaft and the output shaft are arranged at an angle of 90 degrees. Depending on the gearbox type, the axes can intersect in a plane or cross on two parallel planes, which results in an axis offset.

UNSPSC 31171719 Right angle gearbox is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no genuine gearbox-related opportunities; the seven opportunities posted by Harris County, Texas between February and May 2026 involve election equipment ramps, HVAC maintenance, landfill services, door lock replacement, waste management, thermoplastic pavement marking applicators, sign materials, and water laboratory testing — none of which are gearbox procurements. The code assignment appears to be a data-tagging mismatch rather than an actual market signal for right angle gearbox demand in state and local government.

Harris County Purchasing Office dominates the recent activity under this code, posting all seven ITBs with June 8 or June 15, 2026 response deadlines and one-year contract terms commencing in mid-2026 with four optional one-year renewals. No other state, county, city, school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district appears in the recent-opportunities block. Without genuine gearbox solicitations, the code presents no actionable procurement signal for business development professionals targeting right angle gearbox suppliers to state and local buyers.
