UNSPSC 25171506: Windshield wiper pump

UNSPSC 25171506 Windshield wiper pump, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities attributed to the code—Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicitations for transit vehicle modules (VCU-AI SM 331 variants), knife switches, featured windshield glass, flood covering, and remote-filler spouts—are transit fleet components and materials unrelated to windshield wiper pumps. A single Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) RFP for CATS IV Streetcar truck overhauls, due October 20, 2026, addresses truck hydraulic and braking system maintenance to OEM specifications but does not reference wiper pump procurement. The issuing-body mix is dominated by transit authorities—Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority and Charlotte Area Transit System—with no activity from state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or special-purpose districts in the recent record.

The code shows heavy concentration in Texas and North Carolina, driven by DART's repeated purchase-order solicitations posted in June through October 2026 (seven of the eight recent records are DART bids or quotes, all requiring Bonfire registration, FOB Destination pricing with freight included, Net 30 payment terms, and triplicate invoice submission to APInvoices@dart.org). DART enforces strict delivery timing as a material contract requirement with grounds for rejection and default termination for schedule failures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—windshield wiper pumps—and the actual procurement activity (transit vehicle electrical modules, structural materials, and truck overhaul services) signals that this code is either misapplied in the source data or sees no current state and local demand for wiper pump components. Vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing activity under this tag.
