UNSPSC 31171804: Sheaves or pulleys

UNSPSC 31171804 Sheaves or pulleys is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent solicitations tagged under this code involve steel fabrication services and pneumatic rollers for road compaction — neither of which constitutes sheaves or pulleys procurement. The City of Tucson RFP 240080, posted in March 2026, sought a steel fabrication contractor to deliver custom doors, steel cages, anti-vandalism boxes, handrails, and protective infrastructure for city facilities, with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals; vendors were required to meet Section 3 Program labor standards (25% of hours by Section 3 Workers, 5% by Targeted Section 3 Workers) and comply with DBE participation and Buy America provisions. Galveston County's ITB 26-085, posted in January 2026 with a February 26, 2026 response deadline, sought a single new pneumatic roller model year 2526 or newer for the Road & Bridge Department as a replacement unit for road construction material compaction.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas and Arizona, with both opportunities representing one-off equipment or service procurements rather than ongoing sheaves or pulleys sourcing. Issuing bodies include a city facilities department and a county roads authority. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that the code may have been applied incorrectly in these recent opportunities, or that sheaves and pulleys procurement under this code is currently inactive in state and local markets. Business development professionals should verify whether procurement under this code warrants active pursuit until clearer alignment between the code definition and actual state and local solicitations emerges.
