UNSPSC 25171713: Disc brake pads

UNSPSC 25171713 Disc brake pads is a Commodity code representing the supply of brake pad assemblies and related friction components for motor vehicles. State and local governments buy disc brake pads primarily through blanket supply contracts for their vehicle fleets—school buses, police cruisers, transit vehicles, and general-purpose trucks—often bundled with complementary brake components such as rotors, shoes, drums, calipers, and master cylinders. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, state transportation departments, and county purchasing offices. Pinellas County School District, the most active recent buyer, has posted an ITB for motor vehicle brake parts covering both passenger vehicles and light trucks as well as medium and heavy duty trucks and buses; all components must be factory-approved and OEM-certified with manufacturer warranties. California Department of General Services has also recently solicited OEM auto parts across three manufacturer groups (Ford, GM, FCA/Mopar) for use by the California Highway Patrol, Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, and Department of State Hospitals, with historical spend of approximately $14.0 million over four years across all OEM parts categories.

Recent activity centers in Florida and California. Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted ITB #26AM016 on July 27, 2026 with bids due August 24, 2026; the contract covers brake components for district vehicles at an estimated annual value of approximately $190,000 for the period October 28, 2026 through October 27, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals, requiring suppliers to locate within 40 miles of the Walter Pownall Service Center and offering a 5 percent preference to Florida businesses when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. California DGS-PD issued IFB 0000039351 on May 22, 2026 for OEM auto parts (Ford, GM, FCA/Mopar), with bids due June 12, 2026 and a mandatory bidders' conference June 2, 2026; the contract is mandatory for CHP, CDCR, and DSH and available to local governmental agencies statewide, with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year extensions. Both solicitations require new, factory-approved components and F.O.B. delivery to specified locations with firm pricing through the contract period.
