UNSPSC 25171905: Tire valves

UNSPSC 25171905 Tire valves is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of tire maintenance and repair components, including valve stems, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) components, wheel weights, tire repair materials, lubricants, cements, and sealers, alongside associated equipment such as valve core torque tools and air compressors. Tire valve procurement appears primarily within larger tire sales, installation, and maintenance service contracts rather than as standalone component purchases. Issuing bodies span utility commissions, city purchasing departments, county fleet management offices, and municipal transportation agencies. The work solicited ranges from small-scale automotive shop supply inventories (19 line items in one City of Tampa RFQ) to comprehensive tire supply agreements supporting multi-vehicle fleets across multiple facilities, with tire-related work typically bundled with installation, removal, disposal, and retreading services on an as-needed or scheduled basis.

Activity concentrates in Florida and California, with recent solicitations from the Orlando Utilities Commission (RFP PR9446, due September 16, 2026), the City of Tampa Purchasing Department (RFQ 26P00418, due July 22, 2026), and San Bernardino County Fleet Management Department (ITB VHS127FL0006475, due August 20, 2026). The City of Atlanta issued an IFB for tires, tire disposal, and tire repair services (IFB/GS/DPW/2601-1260107, due May 8, 2026). San Bernardino County's ITB explicitly specifies valve stems and TPMS components with a local-vendor preference under County Policy 11-10, a five percent price preference for bidders with principal place of business within the county. Delivery expectations are typically tight—24 to 48 hours in San Bernardino's case, five working days in Tampa's. Contract terms run one to three years; San Bernardino's tire supplies agreement runs through August 23, 2029, with a tentative award date in August 2026.
