UNSPSC 25171702: Automotive braking systems

UNSPSC 25171702 Automotive braking systems is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure brake components, assemblies, and related repair services under this code—covering everything from brake pads, rotors, and drums for light fleet vehicles to heavy-duty brake systems, slack adjusters, and brake chambers for transit buses and commercial trucks. Recent solicitations show demand for both OEM and aftermarket brake parts paired with supply chain management, emergency response capability, and system integration into fleet maintenance operations. The buying mix spans transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Broward County Transportation, City of Gainesville), county fleet departments (Brevard County, San Bernardino County), school districts (Sarasota County Schools), and specialized port operations (Port Everglades). Issuers range from small standalone RFQs for specific brake kits to multi-year framework agreements managed through cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell, which expand eligible participating entities across multiple states.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Broward County, Brevard County, City of Gainesville, Sarasota County Schools), California (San Bernardino County, Orange County), and the Carolinas (Charlotte), with secondary activity in Georgia, New York, and other states participating in Sourcewell cooperative contracts.
