UNSPSC 25171505: Truck windshield wipers

UNSPSC 25171505 Truck windshield wipers is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single solicitation directly purchasing windshield wipers — an RFQ from the City of Tampa Purchasing Department for inventory automotive shop equipment, accessories, and supplies (notice 26P00418, due July 22, 2026) — included windshield washer fluid alongside grease guns, hydraulic couplers, fuel filters, and similar consumables across 19 line items for citywide fleet maintenance. A second closely related opportunity from the City of Detroit (RFQ #542854, due February 23, 2026) solicited windshield washer solvent in bulk, though this product sits adjacent to but outside the wiper blade commodity proper. The remaining recent opportunities in the block — heavy-duty trailer parts and repair services, school bus and fleet maintenance, bookmobile procurement, and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for aftermarket automotive parts — do not target windshield wipers as a distinct line item and represent broader fleet procurement activity.

Activity under this code is sparse and geographically scattered. The two directly relevant recent solicitations come from Florida (Tampa, Detroit) cities. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal departments operating vehicle fleets — Tampa's citywide procurement for fleet maintenance supplies and Detroit's transit authority purchasing for buses. The School Board of Sarasota County issued a broader automotive parts bid (26-0124, due February 12, 2026) specifying 19 OEM and aftermarket manufacturers including Anco Wiper Blades, suggesting windshield wipers are available through such agreements but not solicited as standalone line items. State-level cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell's aftermarket vehicle parts contract (Illinois, $7,500,000 over three years, awarded to NAPA/Genuine Parts Company) may bundle windshield wipers within broader parts supply frameworks. Given the commodity's routine, low-value nature and typical inclusion in broader fleet maintenance contracts rather than standalone procurements, direct pursuit opportunities remain limited under this specific code.
