UNSPSC 25172133 Digital key is a Commodity code that spans a broad range of state and local vehicle and equipment parts procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments procure automotive parts—batteries, alternators, starters, brake components, filters, wiper blades, oil drain plugs, air inlet door actuators, ABS harnesses, silicone brake lubricant, and emissions control components—primarily as OEM and aftermarket inventory to support fleet maintenance and repair operations across school districts, county fleet services, transit authorities, and municipal departments. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas A&M University, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county governments (Brevard County, Collier County, San Bernardino County, Jackson County, Columbia County, Pinellas County), municipalities (City of Eugene, City of Dallas, City of Philadelphia, City of Gainesville, City of Orlando, Town of Palm Beach, City of Atlanta), school districts (Parkway School District, Rockwood School District, Seminole County Public Schools, Sarasota County Schools, Pinellas County School District), and transit authorities (Regional Transit System). Texas and Florida account for the highest recent activity, with secondary concentration in Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Kentucky, and California.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Eugene, Oregon's RFP 20272006 (Jul 9, 2026; due Aug 6, 2026) for a Fleet Vehicle and Equipment Parts Price Agreement covering six primary product categories—Body and Main Parts, Electrical and Electronics, Interior, Powertrain and Chassis, Miscellaneous Parts, and Batteries—with award intended by Aug 31, 2026 to establish one or more five-year price agreements under cooperative procurement; Texas A&M University's ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5051 (Jun 29, 2026; due Jul 21, 2026) for aftermarket auto parts and accessories at negotiated discounts from manufacturer list prices through a master order pool-of-vendors structure; the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida's Bid #26-0124 (Jan 23, 2026; due Feb 12, 2026) for one-year automotive and light truck repair parts supply with options for two additional one-year renewals, requiring firm percentage discounts off manufacturer list prices across nineteen OEM manufacturers; and the City of Dallas's bid for door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services (Mar 12, 2026; due Apr 17, 2026) establishing a three-year ID/IQ master agreement. The code shows substantial recent procurement activity but predominantly in fleet parts, batteries, and related automotive components rather than digital keys per se, suggesting either broad code assignment practice or that the nominal commodity name does not capture the actual purchasing pattern reflected in recent opportunities.
