UNSPSC 40151803: Reciprocating compressor parts

Maintenance and repair parts for reciprocating compressors

UNSPSC 40151803 Reciprocating compressor parts (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity centered on air compressor equipment maintenance, repair, and replacement across water utilities, transportation authorities, and facilities management—though recent opportunities tagged under this code span a broader scope than reciprocating parts alone. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include county water and wastewater utilities, city public works and utilities departments, transportation authorities, and specialized facilities operators. The Long Beach Public Utilities Department solicited three vehicle-mounted air compressors with filter kits (RFQ UD26309, due March 5, 2026); Volusia County Water Resources & Utilities issued an ITB for air compressor preventative maintenance and repair services across three wastewater treatment plants (ITB 26B79LS, due May 6, 2026); and the City of Tampa single-sourced Quincy compressors and parts for the David L. Tippin Water Production Plant's ozone generation equipment (Intent to Single Source 26X01108, due April 27, 2026). The State of Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management solicited a Gardner Denver rotary-screw air compressor system with installation for the Field Maintenance Shop #2 in Auburn (RFQ 15A260429-0280, due June 17, 2026), and the Orange County Transportation Authority budgeted $500,000 over two years for miscellaneous auto and shop supplies including oils, lubricants, filters, and compressor-related items for fleet maintenance (IFB 250325, due June 1, 2026).

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Hillsborough County, Volusia County, City of Tampa, Long Beach in California), Texas (City of Dallas), Maine, and California, reflecting water-system maintenance and transportation fleet operations as primary demand drivers. Water utilities and facilities operators dominate the issuing body mix, with repeat activity from Hillsborough County and City of Tampa procurement offices. Most opportunities are structured as ITBs or RFQs with response dates in the May-to-July 2026 window, typically specifying new equipment, OEM-equivalent parts, firm pricing, and delivery within 30–90 days. A local preference applies in select jurisdictions (Long Beach, Milpitas), prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon labor provisions attach to federally funded or California-sourced work, and maintenance contracts often require Commercial General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence. The code's actual purchasing activity reflects both compressor equipment procurement and the broader MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operating) supplies category, with filter kits, oils, lubricants, and repair labor appearing as frequently as compressor units themselves in recent solicitations.
