UNSPSC 25171712: Drum brake shoes

UNSPSC 25171712 Drum brake shoes, a Commodity code, covers replacement and remanufactured brake components for vehicle fleets, including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and associated hydraulic and hardware assemblies that state and local governments procure to maintain and repair buses, light trucks, heavy trucks, and passenger vehicles. School districts represent the primary identified buyer, with sourcing constrained by geographic proximity to fleet service facilities and OEM certification requirements; state and local governments tag brake component solicitations under this code when managing inventory replenishment for transportation fleets across multiple vehicle classes.

Pinellas County School District in Florida posted the most concrete recent opportunity under this code: ITB #26AM016 for Motor Vehicle Brake Parts, due August 24, 2026, with an estimated annual value of approximately $190,000 covering brake components for two vehicle classes (passenger and light trucks in Section I; medium and heavy trucks, buses, and trailers in Section II). The district requires all parts to be factory-approved and OEM-certified, with new or remanufactured condition as specified, and mandates suppliers be located within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center. Florida businesses receive a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. The contract runs from October 28, 2026 through October 27, 2027, with optional renewal for two additional one-year periods. A second notice—Broward County's RFI for Bubenzer brake systems and rail clamps for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, due July 1, 2026—shows brake-related procurement outside the typical fleet-maintenance context, though that RFI targets a specialized application and remains in the information-gathering phase with no purchase commitment. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with no additional state or local opportunities under this code visible in the source.
