UNSPSC 25171716: Brake lines

UNSPSC 25171716 Brake lines is a Commodity code covering brake system components and assemblies that state and local governments procure for vehicle maintenance and fleet operations. The recent opportunities under this code show procurement activity centered on complete brake component sets—pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits—sourced to Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications with factory approval and warranties. School districts and transportation authorities are the primary issuing bodies; Pinellas County School District in Florida recently solicited brake parts for a mixed fleet spanning passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers. The scope includes both new and remanufactured components, with suppliers required to meet strict certification, liability, and compliance standards including background screening, E-Verify verification, and drug-free workplace certification.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, where Pinellas County School District issued ITB #26AM016 on July 27, 2026, with bids due August 24, 2026 for an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000 over an initial one-year term (October 28, 2026 through October 27, 2027) with two optional one-year renewals. The solicitation awards by section to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, applies a 5 percent Florida preference for in-state suppliers when competing against out-of-state bids from non-reciprocal-preference states, and restricts suppliers to a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center. Pricing must remain firm throughout the initial contract period and may escalate or de-escalate at renewal only by the prior year's Consumer Price Index percentage change, with 60-day written notice required. The recent-opportunities block shows no other comparable brake-lines solicitations in other states or from other vehicle fleets during this review period.
