UNSPSC 25171507: Wiper blades

Wiper blades are an essential component of the windshield wiper.

UNSPSC 25171507 Wiper blades is a Commodity code that reflects minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The two substantive opportunities in the recent record—Rockwood School District's RFB for shop fluids, lubricants, and maintenance oils, and the City of Tampa's RFQ for automotive shop equipment and supplies—do not target wiper blades specifically. The Tampa solicitation lists windshield washer fluid among 19 line items of automotive maintenance stock, but the bulk of both opportunities center on fluids, lubricants, filters, gasket compounds, grease guns, and related fleet-maintenance consumables rather than wiper blade procurement. The issuing bodies in the record span a school district and a municipal purchasing department serving multiple city departments, representing the kinds of fleet-maintenance buyers one would expect, but neither opportunity signals active, direct demand for wiper blades as a standalone procurement category.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Southeast, with the two relevant opportunities posted by Rockwood School District (location not specified in the source) and the City of Tampa Purchasing Department serving Hillsborough County, Florida. A third posting from Sourcewell, the Minnesota state cooperative procurement vehicle, is tagged to law enforcement equipment and does not address wiper blades or automotive fleet supplies. The Tampa RFQ, posted August 10, 2026 with quotes due July 22, 2026 (a date in the past relative to posting, likely a data error in the source), represents one of the few recent opportunities touching automotive maintenance supplies, but its scope does not isolate wiper blades as a procured item. The code shows little evidence of standalone wiper blade demand in state and local procurement right now; pursuit should focus on bundled fleet-maintenance or cooperative-purchasing opportunities where blade replacement may be included as a line item or ancillary supply rather than standalone solicitations.
