NIGP 05510: Brake Adjusters

NIGP 05510 Brake Adjusters, an Item code, describes brake service components and adjustment labor that state and local governments procure primarily as part of larger fleet maintenance and automotive parts supply operations. Recent state and local solicitations show brake adjusters being bought as line items within comprehensive automotive parts agreements — either as part of just-in-time inventory management contracts serving fleets of hundreds of vehicles, or as components embedded in tiered discount schedules for repair parts supply to school districts and county departments. The issuing bodies include county governments (Brevard County, Florida) and school districts (Sarasota County Schools, Florida) that manage substantial vehicle fleets and seek managed inventory or supply agreements rather than spot purchases.

Brevard County Purchasing Services, on behalf of Fleet Services, issued a bid (B52621, due February 25, 2026) for just-in-time inventory management services supporting maintenance of 1,114 fleet assets across multiple departments, with recent annual parts spend of $776,706 and estimated 2025–26 budget of $730,000; the contractor must source brake components including adjusters alongside suspension, electrical, and filter inventory, staff a parts room, and integrate with the County's iMaint system. The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued Bid #26-0124 (due February 12, 2026) to establish one-year supply agreements for automotive and light truck repair parts from 19 specified manufacturers including Bendix Brake, with options to renew for two additional one-year periods; brake adjusters would qualify as line items under those manufacturer discount schedules. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with no other states or jurisdictions represented in the available opportunities.
