UNSPSC 25171706: Brake calipers

UNSPSC 25171706 Brake calipers is a Commodity code purchasing brake components—calipers, pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits—for motor vehicle fleets. State and local governments procure these parts through school districts, county transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles; the work typically involves factory-approved, OEM-certified brake assemblies and components supplied as new or remanufactured stock against annual or multi-year agreements with firm pricing and F.O.B. delivery to specified maintenance facilities.

Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted ITB #26-AM-016 on July 27, 2026 for Motor Vehicle Brake Parts, with sealed electronic bids due August 24, 2026, covering brake components for both passenger and light-truck fleets and medium/heavy-duty trucks and buses, estimated at approximately $190,000 annually under a one-year initial term with optional two-year renewal and unilateral extension rights through October 2027. The district requires suppliers within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center, applies a 5 percent Florida preference when lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier lacking reciprocal preference, and evaluates bids by section rather than all-or-none, allowing split awards. Broward County (Florida) issued a Request for Information (RFI) on June 23, 2026 challenging a sole-source designation for Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. brake and rail clamp systems for Port Everglades container gantry cranes, with responses due July 1, 2026; this RFI sought evidence of comparable alternative suppliers but does not represent an active procurement opportunity. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment did not identify brake calipers or related components as a specific procurement scope. Florida dominates recent activity under this code, with geographically dispersed school and county fleets driving year-over-year sourcing.
