UNSPSC 25173008: Vehicle light pipe

A tube used to distribute light from a remote light source to desired points of illumination in a vehicle interior.

UNSPSC 25173008 Vehicle light pipe is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement activity spanning lighting components, fixtures, and control systems across transit, municipal infrastructure, educational, and facility-management applications. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses replacement bulbs (headlight assemblies, miniature bulbs, LED strobe assemblies), complete lighting systems and controls (theatrical lighting renovations, LED gym and facility retrofits), airfield lighting fixtures, and decorative/infrastructure lighting infrastructure installations. The mix of issuing bodies includes transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Trinity Metro), independent school districts (Pinellas County School District, Harlingen Consolidated ISD), municipalities (City of Gainesville, City of Wheat Ridge, City of Dunwoody, City of Phoenix), counties (Bernalillo County, Gwinnett County, Lee County Port Authority, Collier County), specialized districts (Boulder County, South Dakota State University), and independent procurement offices. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority and Pinellas County School District appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunity window, with DART soliciting multiple individual component and assembly procurements and Pinellas pursuing comprehensive theatrical lighting system overhauls across multiple high school locations.

Activity concentrates in Texas (DART, Trinity Metro, Harlingen ISD, Collier County procurement), Florida (Pinellas County Schools, City of Gainesville, City of Pembroke Pines), and the Southwest and Mountain West (Bernalillo County New Mexico, Boulder County and City of Wheat Ridge Colorado, South Dakota State University), with scattered solicitations in Georgia and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Pinellas County School District's Theater Lighting Renovations (ITB #26-CD-020 and #26CD008) for a $501,000 theatrical system overhaul with sealed electronic bids due May 15, 2026, and March 10–12, 2026, respectively; the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's procurement of H6054 low/high headlight bulbs (purchase order 2099337) and miniature light bulbs (#895) with quotes due June 24, 2026, and May 18, 2026; and the City of Gainesville's downtown holiday lighting design, installation, and maintenance solicitation (GCRA260039AF) with proposals due July 6, 2026. The Lee County Port Authority's sole-source procurement of ADB Safegate airfield lighting fixtures and parts (SS260065LB, due May 22, 2026) and Boulder County's Boulder Hub lighting and controls bid (BID24426, due February 23, 2026) represent large-scale infrastructure and facility modernization activity. Recurring contract structures include RFPs for comprehensive system design and renovation, competitive ITBs and RFBs for component supply (often as indefinite-quantity or as-needed agreements with percentage-discount or unit-price structures), and sealed electronic bidding through regional eProcurement portals such as OpenGov and Bonfire. Most opportunities emphasize delivery performance, FOB destination shipping, and Net 30 payment terms; several large projects (theatrical renovations, tree lighting infrastructure) impose Davis-Bacon wage requirements and federal transit or construction compliance standards.
