UNSPSC 25172012: Slip plate

Moveable plates on an alignment rack that go under a vehicle's wheels. They allow the suspension to settle prior to an alignment.

UNSPSC 25172012 Slip plate is a Commodity code that addresses specialized structural and transport components used in heavy equipment, trailers, and related industrial infrastructure. State and local governments procure slip plates as component parts integrated into trailers, loading ramps, and transport equipment rather than as standalone inventory items. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of transportation, county purchasing offices, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit serving as a regional cooperative) represent the primary procurement channels identified in recent activity, with the former targeting state transportation assets and the latter aggregating demand across participating counties and public entities nationwide.

Recent opportunities show slip plates being procured as specified components within larger transport-equipment buys rather than as discrete line items. The State of Texas IFB No. 304T-26-073A1, posted May 21, 2026, with responses due May 14, 2026, sought multiple trailer types (beavertail tandem and triple axle, sliding triple axle, FGN, DGN, and belly dump configurations) with optional composite flooring, winches, suspension systems, and loading ramps—equipment where slip plates function as wear surfaces or structural interfaces. Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026, addresses law enforcement equipment procurement across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County (Washington) and other jurisdictions nationwide, though the specific role of slip plates in that procurement is not detailed in the available documentation. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with the Texas Department of Transportation identified as a major customer for trailer procurement.
