UNSPSC 25171725: Band brake

A measuring device for loading a rotating shaft and measuring the torque applied to it. It is mainly used to determine brake horsepower.

UNSPSC 25171725 Band brake is a Commodity code for motor vehicle brake components, including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits supplied to state and local transportation fleets and school districts. The code covers both new and remanufactured components that must meet Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications, factory approval, and warranty requirements. Brake system procurement under this code spans school districts managing passenger and light-truck fleets as well as heavy-duty transit and municipal vehicle operations. Recent activity shows school districts as the primary active buyers, with Pinellas County School District (Florida) soliciting brake parts for two vehicle classes under a competitive ITB process. The scope encompasses components across passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers, with suppliers typically required to meet geographic proximity or service-center accessibility standards and comply with standard compliance certifications such as E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, with Pinellas County School District posting ITB #26AM016 on July 27, 2026, due August 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of approximately $190,000 annually covering brake components for two vehicle classes; pricing remains firm through the initial October 28, 2026 through October 27, 2027 contract period with optional renewals and 30-day extension rights. A June 2026 RFI from Broward County, Florida (BLD6232026F12) challenged a sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake systems and rail clamps for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, indicating secondary activity in specialized industrial brake applications. The recent opportunities block contains a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) that does not align with band brake commodity scope; no additional state or local band brake procurement appears in the recent record beyond the Pinellas County ITB.
