UNSPSC 25171714: Brake drum

UNSPSC 25171714 Brake drum is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of brake components and assemblies for fleet vehicles, transit buses, heavy equipment, and related repair and maintenance services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying brake drums as part of larger brake system packages—including rotors, pads, chambers, slack adjusters, and associated hardware—supplied either as discrete OEM or aftermarket parts or as elements of comprehensive fleet maintenance and repower contracts. The issuing bodies span transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Broward County Transportation, City of Gainesville), county fleet services (Brevard County, San Bernardino County), municipal procurement offices (City of Atlanta), school districts (Sarasota County Schools), and specialized port operations (Port Everglades via Broward County); transit and county fleet operations appear to drive the most recent volume. Scope extends beyond parts supply alone to encompass inventory management and logistics (Brevard County's just-in-time parts-room operation), repower overhaul services bundling engine and transmission replacement with complete brake and suspension renewal (Broward County Transportation's mid-life bus fleet work), and sole-source designations for proprietary brake systems (Port Everglades gantry crane brakes).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Southeast, with representative opportunities including Charlotte Area Transit System's five-year brake and suspension parts ITB (269-2026-2041, due May 13, 2026) spanning over 600 line items for 246 buses and 95 paratransit vehicles; City of Gainesville's one-year heavy-duty bus brakes ITB (RTSX270003DS, due May 12, 2026) across eight parts lots with fourteen-day delivery guarantees; Brevard County's five-year just-in-time inventory management contract (B52621, bid opening February 25, 2026) for $776,706 in recent annual usage supporting 1,114 fleet assets with daily delivery requirements; and San Bernardino County's five-year Mopar parts requirements contract (VHS126CFMAI6326, due March 17, 2026) covering nine brake and filter components with five percent local vendor preference. Broward County's FTA-funded bus fleet repower overhaul RFP (TRN2131187B1, due February 23, 2026) bundles brake system renewal with engine and transmission work across 198 buses and establishes pass-through allowances totaling $100,000 annually for miscellaneous parts. School Board procurement is lighter but present: Sarasota County Schools' one-year automotive parts agreement (26-0124, due February 12, 2026) covers 19 OEM manufacturers with percentage discounts off list price and 48-hour delivery for stock. Brake drum procurement velocity appears steady but fragmented across individual contracts rather than consolidated statewide or regional frameworks, with most opportunities requiring OEM certification, five-year business history, and same-day or two-day emergency delivery capability.
