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 that designates brake assemblies and components for industrial, transit, and fleet applications. State and local governments procure band brakes as part of broader vehicle and equipment maintenance contracts, particularly for heavy-duty transit buses, container handling equipment, and fleet vehicles. The code captures discrete brake system components and assemblies used in replacement, repair, and overhaul work across multiple issuing-body types—transit authorities, county transportation departments, school districts managing vehicle fleets, and municipal fleet services—all sourcing brakes either as standalone line items or as part of comprehensive parts supply and maintenance agreements. Recent solicitations show band brakes embedded in larger port equipment, bus fleet, and vehicle parts procurement efforts rather than as standalone procurements.

Issuing bodies pursuing brake components and related services span transit authorities (Broward County Transportation, Charlotte Area Transit System), county departments (San Bernardino County Fleet Management, Brevard County Fleet Services, Broward County Port Everglades), municipal operations (City of Gainesville, City of Atlanta), and school districts (Sarasota County Schools). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with secondary activity in North Carolina, Georgia, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Broward County Transportation's mid-life bus repower overhaul solicitation (IFB TRN2131187B1, closing February 23, 2026) for comprehensive brake system renewal across approximately 198 heavy-duty buses; Charlotte Area Transit System's brake and suspension parts procurement (ITB 269-2026-2041, closing May 13, 2026) for over 600 line items supporting 246 buses and 95 paratransit vehicles; and City of Gainesville's heavy-duty bus and truck brakes ITB (RTSX270003DS, closing May 12, 2026) spanning eight parts lots including brake kits and miscellaneous components. Broward County also issued an RFI (BLD6232026F12, closing July 1, 2026) challenging a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake systems at Port Everglades. Pricing in these procurements typically structures as unit costs or cost-plus-percentage arrangements with firm price periods of three to five years, and delivery expectations run from 24 to 72 hours for stocked items.
