UNSPSC 25172116: Tire chains

Tire chains are used to enable vehicle to operate in snow by providing improved grip.

UNSPSC 25172116 Tire chains (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most-recent-opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations posted between May 2026 and October 2026, none of which request tire chains; instead, the records document vehicle maintenance services, mechanical repairs, OEM parts supply agreements, and specialized equipment procurement across school districts, county governments, state departments, and municipalities. A Hillsborough County Public Schools ITQ for Chevrolet diagnostic and repair services (26252ITQDST, due July 10, 2026) and a Pinellas County School District IFB for motor vehicle brake parts (26-AM-016, due August 24, 2026, approximately $190,000 annually) represent the closest activity to vehicle-related consumables, but neither explicitly includes tire chains in scope. Charlotte Area Transit System's September 2026 RFP for S70 light rail vehicle conical spring spare parts is also tangential to the commodity code's focus.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Charlotte area, City of Fort Myers, Lee County), Texas (Texas A&M University, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Missouri (Jackson County, Parkway School District), Kentucky (Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Military Affairs), Oregon (City of Eugene), and Illinois (Illinois Department of Transportation), with no identifiable concentration in any single state or region. The absence of tire-chain solicitations—combined with the prevalence of OEM parts agreements, maintenance contracts, and specialized vehicle service procurement—suggests the code experiences minimal recent activity in state and local buying. Firms pursuing the tire-chains commodity should monitor school district and county fleet-maintenance notices during winter seasons when road conditions may drive demand, but the current record provides no substantive signal of active procurement under this code in the 2026 timeframe.
