UNSPSC 25172607: Vehicle side panels

UNSPSC 25172607 Vehicle side panels is a Commodity code that encompasses collision repair and body shop services for municipal and county vehicle fleets, including structural and frame repair, body panel repair and replacement, paint refinishing, and post-repair inspection. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county public works departments, city fleet management offices, and municipal purchasing departments. The scope of work reflects the actual services state and local governments are buying: comprehensive collision assessment, body work reconstruction, structural repair, and warranty administration for vehicles supporting public safety, public works, parks and recreation, and administrative operations. Bidders are expected to meet industry-standard certifications (such as I-CAR collision and paint repair credentials), maintain adequate facility capacity (including paint booths accommodating large vehicles, frame-straightening equipment, and welding capabilities), hold proper licensing and insurance, and price services as firm hourly labor rates by category plus materials and disposal fees, with cost-plus-percentage pricing prohibited.

The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of South Fulton, Georgia, which issued RFP 26-25 on April 28, 2026, for comprehensive municipal fleet collision repair and body shop services with a May 28, 2026, proposal deadline, evaluated on best-value criteria including price (25 points), relevant experience (15 points), operational work plan (15 points), performance management (15 points), and response time (10 points); and the County of Orange, California, which issued IFB-080-2986502-JC on March 27, 2026, for medium and heavy-duty vehicle collision repair services with a facility requirement within 20 miles of Santa Ana and a five-percent preference deduction available to County of Orange Local Small Business or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified bidders. Both solicitations awarded indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity requirements contracts with performance-based renewal options. The County of Orange contract term runs five years effective August 1, 2026, while the City of South Fulton contract offers one year with up to three one-year renewal options.
