UNSPSC 25172014: Active suspension system

Type of hydraulic suspension system using a hydraulic actuator instead of a conventional spring and shock absorber.

UNSPSC 25172014 Active suspension system is a Commodity code that captures components installed on heavy-duty transportation equipment to improve ride quality, load handling, and operational safety. State and local governments procure active suspension systems primarily as integrated components within larger vehicle and trailer acquisitions, where they are specified as optional or standard features to meet payload, regulatory, and durability requirements. Issuing bodies under this code include state transportation and procurement departments, counties, and cooperative purchasing organizations that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The systems being solicited are typically air ride suspension assemblies paired with tandem and triple axle trailer configurations, along with associated hydraulic and electrical components required for load-leveling and brake integration.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-073A1 on May 21, 2026, soliciting heavy-duty trailers across six product groups—including nine beavertail tandem axle trailers, nine beavertail triple axle trailers, and specialty configurations—with air ride suspension systems specified as optional components; responses were due May 14, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time in Austin, Texas, with the Texas Department of Transportation identified as a major end user and the contract commencing upon award through April 30, 2027, with four unilateral renewal options. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington, multiple counties, and numerous jurisdictions nationwide; responses were due June 16, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, though the law enforcement scope does not clearly align with active suspension system procurement and appears misclassified under this code. A third posting from Williamson County Purchasing Department on July 14, 2026, was a relocation notice without procurement content.
