UNSPSC 25171714: Brake drum

UNSPSC 25171714 Brake drum is a Commodity code covering factory-approved and OEM-certified brake drum components that state and local governments procure as part of broader motor vehicle brake system maintenance and replacement programs. State and local purchasing offices and school districts acquire brake drums alongside complementary brake components such as pads, shoes, rotors, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits to keep fleets operational. The work involves supplying new or remanufactured drums that meet manufacturer specifications and warranty requirements, delivered and installed on passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers. Issuing bodies span school districts and county transportation and facilities departments; recent activity shows school districts as active buyers managing vehicle fleets across passenger and commercial vehicle classes.

Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted an ITB for motor vehicle brake parts on July 27, 2026, with bids due August 24, 2026, covering brake components including drums across two vehicle classes and valued at approximately $190,000 annually through October 27, 2027. The district requires suppliers to be located within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center and reserves the right to award by section or reject individual items; Florida businesses receive a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier. A June 2026 RFI from Broward County (Florida) addressed brake and rail clamp systems for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, though that scope—emergency braking and load-holding on industrial equipment—falls outside the typical motor vehicle drum market. Geographic activity centers on Florida; the source does not support sufficient recent opportunities in other states to characterize broader regional spread.
