UNSPSC 25171723: Antilock braking system ABS

Type of braking system designed to reduce skidding on wet or icy road surfaces, thus improving safety.

UNSPSC 25171723 Antilock braking system ABS (Commodity) encompasses brake components and systems that state and local governments procure for their vehicle fleets, including 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 dominate the recent activity; Pinellas County School District in Florida issued an ITB for motor vehicle brake parts with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000, requiring factory-approved and OEM-certified components (new or remanufactured as specified) and F.O.B. delivery to specified service facilities. Port authorities and county transportation operations also source under this code, as evidenced by Broward County's RFI challenging a sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake and rail clamp systems serving container gantry cranes at Port Everglades. The mix reflects the code's application across K-12 vehicle maintenance, county fleet management, and specialized infrastructure applications.

The recent opportunities show concentration in Florida, with Pinellas County School District's ITB due August 24, 2026 for an October 28, 2026 contract start and Broward County's RFI closed July 1, 2026 on crane brake systems. Florida procurement offices impose local vendor preferences where applicable; Pinellas County extends a 5 percent preference to Florida businesses when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. The Pinellas solicitation requires suppliers to be located within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center and mandates compliance with background screening, E-Verify, drug-free workplace, and debarment certifications. Brake component suppliers competing for state and local work should expect OEM certification requirements, firm pricing through contract term, and price escalation tied to the Consumer Price Index with 60-day notice windows at renewal.
