UNSPSC 25170000: Transportation components and systems

UNSPSC 25170000 Transportation components and systems (Family) encompasses emergency vehicle warning systems, prisoner-containment fabrication and installation, vehicle glass repair and replacement services, traffic signal equipment, and public transit infrastructure—the full range of specialized components and systems state and local governments procure to outfit and maintain emergency services fleets, law enforcement vehicles, transit buses, and traffic management infrastructure. State and local solicitations under this code span emergency services modernization (Delaware's statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle for warning systems serving state agencies and school districts), county law enforcement (Orange County, California fabricating four custom prisoner-transport vans), municipal fleets (Salt Lake City glass repair across 1,600 vehicles), transit authorities (Park City Municipal Corporation leasing six 35-foot low-floor buses; Maryland Transit Administration procuring bellows and wheelchair ramp assemblies), and regional transportation infrastructure (Connecticut Department of Transportation's signal equipment for the New Haven Line; Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority replacing its centralized train control system). Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county sheriffs' offices, cities and municipalities, independent school districts, transit authorities, and regional public housing and health agencies. Geographic concentration in recent activity spans California (Orange County sheriff vehicles, County of Orange Health Care Agency medical transport software), Delaware (statewide emergency vehicle systems), Utah (Park City transit; Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County vehicle services), Massachusetts (MBTA train control, MassDOT signal testing, Needham Public Schools bus transportation), Connecticut (DOT signal equipment), Maryland (MTA transit components), Pennsylvania (Washington County Transportation Authority fuel system installation), Florida (Orange County traffic signal equipment), and Arizona (Tucson Water chemical-resistant parts, Tucson machine shop services).
