UNSPSC 31251601: Robotic end effectors

UNSPSC 31251601 Robotic end effectors, a Commodity code, covers automated control devices and actuators that state and local governments procure for water and wastewater treatment facility operations. Recent solicitations show municipal and county water utilities buying hydraulic and electric actuators, positioners, slide gates, and associated replacement parts and repair services to standardize control equipment, improve process flow management, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations governing wastewater treatment output.

Water and wastewater utilities dominate the issuing body mix, with Florida counties and cities (Plant City, Seminole County, and an unnamed Florida county jurisdiction) and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department appearing repeatedly in recent opportunities. Gwinnett County in Georgia also solicited under this code for slide gates serving a finished water storage system. Plant City issued a Notice of Intent to sole source REXA Actuators for wastewater treatment control ($29,580.00, IFB 26-038UM-NOI, response due April 14, 2026); Seminole County pursued sole-source REXA actuator replacement and repair parts (SS5253, response due June 1, 2026); the City of Austin Purchasing Office solicited two units of a Fisher Rosem DVC 6200 microprocessor-based positioner compatible with HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, and PROFIBUS protocols (IFQ 1100 BAS1093, response due June 16, 2026); the City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued a competitive sealed bid for electric actuators, parts, valves, gearboxes, and related software from authorized distributors of Asahi/America, Badger Meter, Emerson, Flowserve, Rexa, and US Koei Technologies, with a contract term from September 1, 2026 through February 28, 2031 (IFB-26-0343, response due June 4, 2026); and Gwinnett County solicited four replacement 108-inch slide gates for the Lanier Filter Plant (BL044-26, response due April 22, 2026). Florida and Arizona show the most recent activity, with secondary presence in Georgia and Texas.
