UNSPSC 25171720: Dual circuit brake

UNSPSC 25171720 Dual circuit brake, a Commodity code, encompasses brake system components and related parts that state and local governments procure for transit fleets, municipal vehicles, and specialized equipment. The code captures replacement brake assemblies, brake drums, rotors, brake pads, and integrated brake kits designed for heavy-duty applications including buses, trucks, and container handling equipment. Recent solicitations show municipalities and transit authorities sourcing dual-circuit brake components as part of broader fleet maintenance and repair operations, often paired with suspension, drivetrain, and miscellaneous parts procurement.

Activity under this code spans transit authorities, county transportation departments, and municipal fleet services across multiple states. The City of Charlotte's Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) issued an Invitation to Bid in March 2026 for brake and suspension parts to service 246 buses and 95 paratransit vehicles over a five-year term, seeking brake drums, rotors, brake chambers, and related assemblies; the City of Gainesville, Florida solicited heavy-duty bus and truck brakes through an ITB in April 2026 with a May 12 response deadline, specifying eight lots including HD Brake Kits and related components for a one-year contract; and Broward County issued a Request for Information in June 2026 challenging a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake and rail clamp systems for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, seeking evidence of comparable alternative suppliers with responses due July 1, 2026. Additional opportunities include Broward County Transportation Department's February 2026 solicitation for mid-life rolling stock repower overhaul services encompassing brake system renewal across 198 buses. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Charlotte, Gainesville, Broward County), with broader representation in the Southeast and multi-state cooperative purchasing initiatives. The code shows consistent demand from transit authorities and specialized port operations requiring OEM or equivalent brake components meeting safety and performance standards.
