UNSPSC 25171700: Braking systems and components

UNSPSC 25171700 Braking systems and components, a Class code, encompasses the supply and maintenance of factory-approved brake components for school district and municipal vehicle fleets, including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters for both passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks and buses. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts and county transportation authorities, with Pinellas County School District emerging as an active buyer. Brake system procurement typically includes specifications for new or remanufactured parts certified by Original Equipment Manufacturers with manufacturer warranties, firm pricing anchored to Consumer Price Index escalation caps, and delivery to multiple service compounds or depots. Vendors must meet background screening, E-Verify, and debarment certification requirements.

Recent activity centers in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Pinellas County School District issued ITB #26-AM-016 on July 27, 2026 for motor vehicle brake parts with a response deadline of August 24, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000; the contract covers brake components for passenger and light trucks as well as medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers, with parts sourcing restricted to suppliers within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center and Florida businesses receiving a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, appears to have been tagged with this code but does not describe brake-system procurement; it does not represent relevant activity under the code.
