UNSPSC 25172003: Truck shock absorbers

UNSPSC 25172003 Truck shock absorbers is a Commodity code that represents automotive suspension and shock absorption components procured by state and local governments to maintain fleet vehicles across departments. State and local buyers under this code are primarily county fleet services departments, city transportation and public works offices, and school district transportation divisions seeking original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket shock absorber components. The sourcing typically occurs through broader fleet maintenance and parts supply agreements rather than isolated shock absorber purchases, with vendors supplying parts as part of comprehensive automotive repair and inventory management contracts. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (Brevard County, Williamson County), municipal procurement offices (City of Atlanta, City of Orlando), and school district transportation procurement (Sarasota County Schools), with fleet services departments or transportation garages managing the actual parts inventory and deployment.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The School Board of Sarasota County issued Bid #26-0124 for automotive and light truck repair parts on January 23, 2026, with a February 12, 2026 response deadline, establishing a one-year supply agreement with OEM and in-house brand parts discounts across specified manufacturers including Monroe (a shock absorber and suspension parts supplier). Brevard County Purchasing Services solicited an IFB for just-in-time inventory management of automotive parts and equipment for fleet maintenance, posted April 6, 2026, with a February 25, 2026 bid opening (note: due date predates posting), covering approximately 175 work orders monthly and recent annual usage of $776,706. The City of Atlanta Department of Public Works issued a pre-advertisement notice for heavy-duty trailers repair services and parts on March 4, 2026, with a May 1, 2026 bid deadline, requiring 24-hour parts delivery for 90 percent of items. No sole-source or cooperative purchasing agreements specifically for truck shock absorbers appear in the recent record; the sector shows no standout geographic concentration beyond Florida and Georgia activity.
