UNSPSC 25171718: Brake repair kits

UNSPSC 25171718 Brake repair kits is a Commodity code that encompasses factory-approved brake components, assemblies, and hardware supplied to state and local vehicle fleets—pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers. School districts and county transit authorities are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing replacement and maintenance parts under competitive sealed-bid procurements. Suppliers typically must be OEM-certified, provide new or remanufactured stock as specified, carry manufacturer warranties and liability indemnification, and often meet geographic service-radius requirements. Award structures vary—some jurisdictions reserve the right to split awards by vehicle class or reject individual line items rather than award all-or-none, allowing selective procurement matched to fleet composition.

Pinellas County School District in Florida posted ITB #26-AM-016 on July 27, 2026 with bids due August 24, 2026, soliciting brake components for two vehicle classes (passenger and light trucks in Section I; medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers in Section II) with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000 and a one-year initial term plus two optional one-year renewals. Broward County, Florida issued an RFI on June 23, 2026 challenging a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake and rail clamp systems for Port Everglades container gantry cranes, due July 1, 2026—a specialized industrial brake application outside typical fleet maintenance scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026 due June 16, 2026, encompassing participating entities in Washington state and beyond, though the available documentation does not confirm that brake components constitute a material portion of that solicitation. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with school district procurement representing the clearest near-term pipeline under the code's core scope.
