UNSPSC 25171604: Motorcycle defroster

UNSPSC 25171604 Motorcycle defroster is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it overwhelmingly solicit law enforcement motorcycles—fully equipped police pursuit and traffic-enforcement bikes with high-performance engines, integrated emergency lighting, weapons and radar mounts, and multi-year warranty support—rather than defroster components or accessories. The code appears misapplied to the actual procurement activity; state and local governments buying under this designation are acquiring complete motorcycles and associated services (repair, OEM parts, diagnostics, training, and technical support) for law enforcement fleets, not motorcycle defrosters as discrete products or components.

Issuing bodies include city police departments (City of Atlanta Police Department, City of St. Cloud, Florida), state agencies (State of Nevada, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts with Texas Department of Public Safety as customer, Illinois Department of Central Management Services), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide). Recent opportunities span Texas, Illinois, Florida, Nevada, Georgia, and Washington, with a significant cooperative-purchasing framework extending across the United States and Canada. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-071A1 for 12 law enforcement motorcycles (BMW R 1300 RT-P or Harley-Davidson Road Glide specification, responses due May 19, 2026); the Illinois Department of Central Management Services IFB 27-416CMS-BOSS4-B-52578 for a joint purchase master contract for police pursuit motorcycles on an as-needed basis (responses due July 2, 2026); the City of Atlanta Police Department IFB/GS/DPW/2605-1260198 for fully equipped motorcycles plus repair, parts, diagnostics, and training services (responses due June 8, 2026); and the City of St. Cloud, Florida ITB 2026-015 for BMW Police Motorcycles (responses due April 2, 2026).
