UNSPSC 25171711: Slave cylinders

UNSPSC 25171711 Slave cylinders, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of hydraulic slave cylinders and related brake system components used in fleet maintenance and transit operations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments purchasing brake cylinders as part of broader vehicle parts supply agreements, inventory management contracts, and fleet overhaul services. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the distributed nature of fleet ownership: county transportation departments (Broward County), municipal transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, City of Gainesville), county fleet management operations (Brevard County, San Bernardino County), school districts (Sarasota County), and other municipal departments sourcing parts for heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and equipment. Brake system components, including slave cylinders, appear most frequently in solicitations serving transit bus fleets and heavy-duty truck operations, where standardized, OEM-specified parts and rapid delivery are critical to maintaining scheduled service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Broward County, Brevard County, City of Gainesville, School Board of Sarasota County), North Carolina (Charlotte), Georgia (City of Atlanta), and California (San Bernardino County). Representative recent opportunities include Broward County's RFI for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps for Port Everglades container gantry cranes (due July 1, 2026); Charlotte Area Transit System's ITB for brake and suspension parts for 246 buses and 95 paratransit vehicles across over 600 line items (responses due May 13, 2026); City of Gainesville's ITB for heavy-duty bus and truck brakes across eight distinct lots (due May 12, 2026); and Brevard County's solicitation for just-in-time inventory management services supporting fleet maintenance of 1,114 assets with daily parts delivery requirements (bid opening February 25, 2026). Contracts typically run one to five years with delivery expectations of 24–72 hours for stock items and 14 days maximum for special-order components. No recent opportunities directly and solely addressing slave cylinders as a standalone commodity were identified in the source material; the code appears embedded within multi-part brake and suspension agreements rather than as a discrete procurement line.
