UNSPSC 25172124: Side airbag inflator

Air inflation mechanism used for automotive door or seat side inflatable restraint system

UNSPSC 25172124 Side airbag inflator (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The one substantive recent opportunity does not align with the code's nominal scope: the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement solicited low silicate, phosphate-free ethylene glycol antifreeze in bulk and 55-gallon drums for the Detroit Department of Transportation's Extended Service Interval program. This is automotive fluid procurement, not safety components or inflator systems. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the city's tagging or that the code is used inconsistently in state and local systems.

The Detroit RFQ (Solicitation 551483, response due October 9, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. EST) does illustrate a jurisdictional willingness to apply local vendor preferences—Detroit-based business certifications receive equalization credits of one to five percent, with awards capped at twelve percent above the lowest responsible bid or $100,000, whichever is less. Estimated annual usage is approximately 24,000 gallons across four line items in concentrate and premixed formulations, with delivery required within three business days and one or multiple awards possible on a low bid basis. Beyond this single Detroit procurement, the source provides no other opportunities, issuing bodies, geographic spread, or vendor activity under this code. The code warrants a skip for current business development unless internal research surfaces state or local demand for side airbag inflators specifically.
