UNSPSC 25171707: Drum brake

UNSPSC 25171707 Drum brake is a Commodity code that covers drum brake components and assemblies procured by state and local transportation and fleet-management entities. Recent state and local opportunities under this code focus on factory-certified and OEM-warranted brake components—including drums, pads, shoes, rotors, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters—for both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle fleets. School districts and county transportation departments dominate the issuing-body mix, driven by the need to maintain passenger buses, service vehicles, and specialized transport equipment. Brake components are procured as consumables and wear items on multi-year service contracts with firm pricing through the initial term and CPI-indexed escalation clauses at renewal. Suppliers typically must meet OEM certification, new or remanufactured condition requirements, manufacturer warranty and liability indemnification, and compliance with vendor-eligibility requirements including background screening, drug-free workplace certification, and debarment certification.

Pinellas County School District in Florida posted the most substantial recent opportunity under this code: ITB #26AM016 for Motor Vehicle Brake Parts, due August 24, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $190,000 and a one-year initial term (October 28, 2026–October 27, 2027) plus optional renewals. The procurement separates light-duty passenger vehicles and trucks from medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers, reserves the right to award by section to the lowest responsive bidder, and requires suppliers to be located within 40 miles of the Walter Pownall Service Center; Florida businesses receive a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier. Geographic activity under the code centers on Florida, with secondary activity visible in other state and local jurisdictions, though recent-opportunity density remains modest. Responsive vendors must submit sealed electronic bids via the OpenGov Procurement portal and comply with local business-location and preference requirements.
