UNSPSC 25173811: Drive shafts

UNSPSC 25173811 Drive shafts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure replacement drivetrain components—driveshafts, drive axles, and related powertrain parts—primarily for fleet maintenance and repair across vehicle types including buses, heavy-duty trucks, and municipal vehicles. Solicitations under the code emphasize OEM-specification parts and integrated service capabilities: vendors must maintain adequate inventory, source unavailable parts within a defined window (typically two to three days), and demonstrate professional repair facilities with qualified personnel. The issuing bodies are primarily city and county fleet departments, school districts operating bus fleets, and municipal purchasing offices. City of San Antonio's Fleet Operations Division, Parkway School District in Missouri, and the City of Tampa Purchasing Department have posted recent solicitations; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued a multi-jurisdictional RFP for law enforcement equipment that includes vehicle maintenance components available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Missouri. The City of San Antonio issued an IFB for an annual drivetrain parts and service contract (due May 1, 2026) through its Solid Waste Management Department's Fleet Operations Division, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 22, 2026; Parkway School District posted an RFB for bus fleet OEM parts and service (bid closure May 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST, award notification June 11, 2026); and the City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued RFQ 26-P-00418 for inventory automotive shop equipment and supplies (due July 22, 2026, extended response window). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) encompasses law enforcement equipment across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, alongside numerous jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada.
