UNSPSC 25172507: Tire cord

UNSPSC 25172507 Tire cord is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations under this code treat it as a procurement vehicle for full-scope tire services—sales, installation, removal, repair, disposal, and retreading—rather than cord material itself. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily seeking turnkey tire supply and fleet maintenance from vendors who stock multiple tire types, provide on-site installation and repair capacity, handle worn-tire disposal, and maintain emergency availability. The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) in Florida, the City of Atlanta, San Bernardino County Fleet Management, and the City of Tampa Purchasing Department all posted opportunities in the past six months requesting tire sales and services on an as-needed, replenishment basis. Issuing bodies include utility commissions, municipal public works and fleet departments, and county fleet operations. No set-asides or preference programs appear in the OUC and Atlanta solicitations; San Bernardino County applies a five percent local-vendor preference under County Policy 11-10 to vendors with principal place of business within the county.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. The Orlando Utilities Commission posted RFP PR9446 on September 28, 2026, for tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty services across four OUC facility locations, with proposals due September 16, 2026 (note: posted date appears after due date in source). The City of Atlanta issued IFB PE66062NONST2026000000369 on April 30, 2026, requesting tires of all sizes, environmentally sustainable disposal, on-site and field repair, retreading, and emergency after-hours availability, with bids due May 8, 2026. San Bernardino County Fleet Management posted ITB VHS127FL0006475 on August 6, 2026, for tire maintenance and repair supplies—valve stems, TPMS components, wheel weights, repair materials, and specialized equipment—with a three-year term running August 24, 2026, through August 23, 2029, and bids due August 20, 2026. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued RFQ 26P00418 on August 10, 2026, for automotive shop supplies including tire gauges and related equipment, with quotes due July 22, 2026 (again, posted after due date). Contract terms typically run three years with optional renewals or one-year initial awards, firm pricing throughout the period, and FOB destination delivery within 24 to 48 hours of order.
