UNSPSC 25173802: Non driving axles

UNSPSC 25173802 Non driving axles (Commodity) covers the purchase of rear axle assemblies and related suspension components for heavy trucks and specialized vehicles, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of equipment including complete tractor trucks, refrigerated box trucks, boom trucks, and purpose-built trailers—suggesting the taxonomy as applied captures major vehicle purchases where axles are a significant component rather than axle-only procurement. State and local buyers under this code include county commissioners' offices (Georgia), school districts (Georgia), water authorities (Georgia), county fleet departments (Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state jurisdictions (Sourcewell covering Washington, Minnesota, and beyond). Georgia counties dominate recent activity, with multiple rural and mid-sized county governments soliciting heavy equipment through sealed-bid and RFQ processes for road departments, public works, and specialized fleet operations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia (Burke County, Habersham County, Lowndes County, DeKalb County, Macon Water Authority), Texas (Texas A&M University-Kingsville for a mobile concession trailer), and multi-state cooperative procurement (Sourcewell). Burke County Board of Commissioners issued an IB for one tractor truck with a Cummins X12 engine and 80,000-pound GCWR, bids due December 2, 2026. Habersham County Board of Commissioners requested quotes under RFQ 2027-05 for a commercial-grade grapple dump trailer for storm debris management, due September 16, 2026. Lowndes County Commissioners solicited bids for one boom truck with 22-foot boom and 10,000-pound lift capacity for public works, due August 25, 2026. Griffin-Spalding County School System issued IFB #27-102 for a refrigerated box truck to support food distribution across twenty-one cafeteria sites, due July 23, 2026. DeKalb County Fleet Department issued ITB #2026-084 for 12 walking floor open refuse transfer trailers, due July 20, 2026. Most opportunities require sealed bids or sealed proposals delivered in person or through electronic portals, with standard performance and insurance requirements; several impose Georgia E-Verify and non-discrimination compliance mandates on vendors.
