UNSPSC 25172509: Heavy truck tire tube

Tire tubes for heavy trucks

UNSPSC 25172509 Heavy truck tire tube (Commodity) encompasses tire sales, installation, removal, and repair services that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for fleet and equipment maintenance. Recent solicitations reveal that government buyers are acquiring not just tubes but complete tire lifecycle services—sales of on-road and off-road tires, installation at facilities or job sites, removal of worn stock, credit for casings suitable for retreading, foam filling, and emergency repair availability outside normal business hours. Issuing bodies include utilities commissions, county governments, and municipal departments; Orlando Utilities Commission, Fairfax County and Prince William County (joint procurement), Jackson County Missouri, the City of Atlanta, and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County all solicited tire and tube services in the past six months. Contract structures span term agreements with multiple renewals (three years with two optional one-year extensions at Orlando Utilities; twenty-four months with a twelve-month option at Jackson County) and joint cooperative vehicles (Fairfax County acting as contracting agent for both Fairfax and Prince William County under a single IFB). Evaluation criteria typically include qualifications and experience, safety and quality programs, financial soundness, and price; some solicitations require minimum industry experience (ten years at Orlando Utilities), compliance with drug-free workplace policies, and specific insurance coverage (General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Automobile Liability).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orlando Utilities Commission, Palm Beach County), Virginia (Fairfax and Prince William Counties), Missouri (Jackson County), and Georgia (City of Atlanta), with recent opportunities spanning July through September 2026. The Orlando Utilities Commission RFP (Solicitation PR9446, due September 16, 2026) requested tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty services across four OUC facilities on an as-needed basis with three-year firm pricing. Fairfax County's IFB 2000004402 (due August 20, 2026) established a county-wide term contract for new tires, tubes, and related services for all departments. Jackson County, Missouri's IFB (Solicitation 26046, due August 18, 2026) sought a twenty-four-month supply and maintenance contract for off-road, agricultural, industrial, and specialty tires.
