UNSPSC 25173812: Manual transmissions

UNSPSC 25173812 Manual transmissions (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of state and local fleet maintenance procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for manual transmissions themselves. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects transmission services and broader fleet repair contracts that incidentally touch transmission work. State and local governments buy transmission repair, rebuild, and exchange services—not transmission parts or units in isolation—primarily through transit authorities, school districts, and municipal fleet departments operating public buses, school buses, and light fleet vehicles. The issuing bodies are transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department, Columbus Consolidated Government's METRA), school districts (Parkway School District in Missouri, Seminole County Public Schools in Florida, Sarasota County Schools in Florida), and municipal fleet departments (Atlanta Department of Public Works, Brevard County Fleet Services). These jurisdictions procure transmission services bundled with broader chassis repair, engine overhaul, and parts supply contracts rather than as standalone transmission commodities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Broward County Transportation, Brevard County, Seminole County Public Schools, Sarasota County Schools) and Georgia (City of Atlanta), with additional representation in Missouri (Parkway School District) and Ohio (Columbus Consolidated Government). Representative recent opportunities include Broward County Transportation Department's open-end indefinite quantity contract (TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026) for Cummins engine and chassis system repair for the BCT Bus Fleet, which explicitly names transmission repair as part of a broader authorized service facility solicitation; Columbus Consolidated Government's Request for Bid (RFB No. 26_0031, due March 4, 2026) to repair and rebuild B400R transmissions for METRA Transit System on an as-needed basis; and Parkway School District's Request for Bid (26120, due May 19, 2026) for bus and vehicle OEM parts and service, which includes transmission repair within comprehensive fleet maintenance. The code shows modest recent activity overall, concentrated in transit and school fleet operations where transmission work is incidental to larger fleet service contracts rather than a primary procurement focus.
