UNSPSC 31251601: Robotic end effectors

UNSPSC 31251601 Robotic end effectors, a Commodity code, encompasses motor-driven actuators, positioners, and control systems for industrial flow control, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and specialized robotics applications — work state and local governments source across water utilities, transit authorities, and community colleges. Recent solicitations show procurement offices buying electric actuators and hydraulic control systems for municipal water and wastewater treatment, positioner devices for process control, transit subassemblies for rail systems, and advanced robotic platforms for workforce training. The mix of issuing bodies includes major city water departments (Phoenix Water Services, Austin Energy), county wastewater authorities (Gwinnett County, Seminole County), specialized transit operators (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and educational institutions (Mt. Hood Community College). Among repeat buyers, the City of Phoenix Water Services Department appears in two separate municipal water utility contracts within a three-month window, suggesting ongoing capital spending on treatment system modernization.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Water Services Department issuing an IFB for electric actuators, parts, and software under a four-and-a-half-year contract through February 2031 with offers due June 4, 2026; the City of Austin Purchasing Office soliciting quotes for a DVC 6200 microprocessor-based positioner with quotes due June 16, 2026; Seminole County, Florida pursing a sole-source procurement of REXA actuator replacement parts for wastewater treatment with responses due June 1, 2026; and the City of Plant City, Florida advancing a notice of intent to sole-source REXA actuators for its Water Reclamation Facility with a quoted system cost of $29,580.00. Additional opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' competitive sealed bid for 108-inch slide gates with bid opening scheduled for April 22, 2026, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's bid for an actuator pantograph subassembly due April 28, 2026, and Mt. Hood Community College's procurement of advanced bipedal and quadrupedal robotic platforms for research and workforce training with bids due March 25, 2026.
