UNSPSC 25172512: Motorcycle tire

A type of tire designed for 2-wheel vehicles that has a round cross section to facilitate the leaning necessary when a motorcycle turns. It provides the only contact with the ground and has a large influence over motorcycle handling characteristics.

UNSPSC 25172512 Motorcycle tire is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses tire supply, disposal, and repair services rather than motorcycle tires alone. Pasco County, Florida and the City of Atlanta are both procuring comprehensive tire management services — including supply of tires in multiple sizes and treads, scrap tire disposal compliant with EPA and state regulations, tire repair and retreading, and emergency field service — through IFBs posted in April and May 2026. The scope reflects operational vehicle fleet maintenance across municipal and county transportation, public works, and law enforcement fleets. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco County), cities (Atlanta), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple counties and school districts across Washington and Minnesota). The code sees activity from county departments of public works, city transportation and facilities management offices, and law enforcement agencies purchasing through multi-entity cooperatives.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with Pasco County in the Tampa Bay region and the City of Atlanta representing southeastern procurement. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, spans participating entities across Washington state and multiple jurisdictions nationwide, suggesting broader geographic reach. The Pasco County IFB (IFBKM26097) for waste tire management services, due June 23, 2026, requires vendors to be Florida-licensed with three years of experience and EPA or FDEP approval for tire processing; pricing is per-ton basis with a local preference provision allowing qualified vendors from Pasco, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, or Hernando counties to match the low bid within 10 percent. The City of Atlanta's IFB (PE66062NONST2026000000369), due May 8, 2026, solicits tires of all sizes and classes, retreading with inspection documentation, scrap disposal, and 24/7 field repair availability. The Pasco contract term runs through September 30, 2029, with two optional one-year extensions, and requires a $50,000 performance bond.
