UNSPSC 31171806: Idler wheels

UNSPSC 31171806 Idler wheels is a Commodity code that covers replacement and specialized components for heavy equipment used in infrastructure and maintenance work. State and local governments procure under this code primarily as subordinate line items within broader equipment acquisitions and maintenance contracts. The issuing bodies include county public works departments and city facilities maintenance operations that operate road construction equipment, compaction machinery, and specialized fabrication assets. These jurisdictions typically seek replacement parts through competitive sealed bid (ITB) or request for proposal (RFP) processes as part of routine fleet maintenance and equipment refresh cycles.

Recent activity shows the code receives sparse direct solicitation. Galveston County, Texas issued ITB 26-085 (posted January 27, 2026; due February 26, 2026) to procure one new pneumatic roller model year 2526 or newer for the Road & Bridge Department as a replacement unit for road construction and material compaction work. The City of Tucson, Arizona posted RFP 240080 (March 26, 2026) for steel fabrication services to its Facilities and Communications Maintenance department, which involves custom fabrication of steel components and protective infrastructure but does not specifically name idler wheel procurement. Geographic activity centers on Texas and Arizona, with no recent opportunities reported in other states. The code shows limited current velocity in state and local procurement, suggesting it functions primarily as a subordinate component within larger road construction equipment and heavy machinery contracts rather than as a stand-alone procurement category.
