UNSPSC 25171710: Master cylinders

UNSPSC 25171710 Master cylinders is a Commodity code addressing hydraulic brake system components that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance and vehicle operations. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing factory-approved, OEM-certified brake master cylinders alongside complementary brake parts—pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and boosters—as integrated brake system solutions for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts and county transit or port authorities managing vehicle fleets or specialized equipment requiring certified brake components with manufacturer warranties and liability indemnification.

Pinellas County School District in Florida represents the most concrete recent activity under the code, issuing 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 $190,000. The ITB explicitly names master cylinders as part of a two-section brake component scope covering both passenger and light-duty vehicles and medium-to-heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers, with optional renewal for two additional one-year periods. Suppliers must be located within 40 miles of the Walter Pownall Service Center, pricing is F.O.B. to four PCS compounds, and Florida businesses receive a 5 percent preference if the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. A separate RFI from Broward County posted June 23, 2026 addresses specialized brake systems and rail clamps for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, though that scope falls outside typical master cylinder procurement. Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, with geographic coverage limited to the jurisdictions identified in the source.
