UNSPSC 25171503: Locomotive windshield wipers

UNSPSC 25171503 Locomotive windshield wipers is a Commodity code that in practice covers windshield wiper components and assemblies for transit vehicles, including bus and rail fleets. State and local governments buy these parts through blanket purchase order agreements and direct procurements as part of ongoing fleet maintenance and repair operations. School districts and transit authorities are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting OEM replacement parts and components on an as-needed basis with vendors expected to maintain adequate inventory and provide rapid fulfillment for unavailable stock.

Recent activity centers on Missouri and Texas. Parkway School District in Missouri posted RFB 26120 on May 5, 2026 seeking OEM bus fleet parts and repair services under a blanket purchase order with a May 19, 2026 bid closure, while Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) posted two nearly identical IFBs for arm wiper assemblies (2-piece composite steel and stainless steel, Generation 3 specification) on April 23, 2026 with April 28, 2026 deadlines. The Parkway solicitation emphasizes local vendor preference when quality, price, and delivery are comparable, and requires F.O.B. destination pricing with comprehensive insurance coverage including $1 million combined single limit commercial general liability. DART's procurements stress adherence to delivery schedules as essential contract terms, with invoices payable within 30 days and DART's tax exemption reducing invoice amounts; both DART opportunities are governed by Texas law with venue in Dallas County.
