UNSPSC 25173107: Vehicular global positioning system GPS

UNSPSC 25173107 Vehicular global positioning system GPS, a Commodity code, covers real-time vehicle tracking hardware and software deployed across fleet management, transit operations, and specialized positioning applications. State and local governments procure GPS tracking devices, integrated vehicle location systems with mobile and web interfaces, geofencing and alert capabilities, driver behavior analytics, and cloud-based fleet management platforms under this code. Recent solicitations show transit agencies, county fleet services, school districts, and municipalities buying complete GPS tracking and vehicle management systems—often bundled with CAD/AVL (Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location) functionality, historical data retention, and integration with existing dispatch or maintenance systems.

Recent activity spans Virginia, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Maryland, with transit and municipal fleet operations driving the largest procurements. The City of Alexandria, Virginia (on behalf of DASH transit) issued RFP 2009 for a next-generation CAD/AVL system replacement due August 18, 2026, requiring unlimited software licenses, cloud or on-premise hosting, integration with Motorola radios and Clever Devices terminals, and three-year minimum transit-agency deployment history. The City of Tucson issued RFP 260201 through the Axia Cooperative Purchasing Program (due August 5, 2026) for GPS tracking devices covering approximately 1,005 municipal fleet vehicles with 30-second refresh intervals, minimum three-year historical data retention, driver behavior analytics, and SaaS delivery on Microsoft Azure or Amazon GovCloud, with an estimated annual national cooperative purchase volume of $30 million. Orange County, California (OC Waste & Recycling) solicited competitive sealed bids (IFB 2993053303AA) for a complete GNSS Rover system for landfill terrain measurement and modeling. Harford County Public Schools (Maryland) and Whitfield County Schools (Georgia) both sought bus routing, fleet management, GPS, and school planning software. Broward County and a Florida county issued RFIs challenging sole-source designations for SignalWave LLC and Planar displays respectively, signaling competitive challenges to incumbent GPS and display vendors. The code shows active procurement across municipal fleets, transit agencies, school districts, and utility services, with cloud-hosted SaaS models, integration depth with existing systems, and federal compliance (DBE, Davis-Bacon, CMAQ/RSTP funding) now standard in mid-size and larger awards.
