UNSPSC 25171721: Mechanical or parking brake

Hand or foot operated brake that can be either drum or disc in function

UNSPSC 25171721 Mechanical or parking brake is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure brake components and assemblies for vehicle fleets. Recent solicitations show active procurement of pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters for both light-duty passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers. All components are required to carry factory-approval and original-equipment-manufacturer certification with manufacturer warranties and liability indemnification. Buyers include school districts and special-purpose authorities managing transportation or material-handling equipment; the Pinellas County School District ITB for motor vehicle brake parts (posted July 27, 2026, due August 24, 2026) represents typical district-level procurement, valued at approximately $190,000 annually and covering brake components for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Suppliers must meet local geographic, employment-verification, background-screening, and debarment-certification requirements; pricing remains firm throughout the initial contract period with escalation or de-escalation at renewal capped by the previous year's Consumer Price Index percentage change.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where the Pinellas County School District procurement demonstrates single-location sourcing within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center and a five-percent local preference for in-state suppliers absent reciprocal preference from the supplier's home state. A Broward County RFI (posted June 23, 2026, due July 1, 2026) addressed specialized brake and clamp systems for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, representing application of the code outside routine fleet maintenance. Beyond Florida, sourcing patterns are limited in the available record; the sample is too sparse to characterize geographic concentration or identify standout repeat buyers across multiple states. No recent opportunities under this code appear in Texas, Minnesota, or Washington in the source material provided.
