UNSPSC 25173813: Automatic transmissions

UNSPSC 25173813 Automatic transmissions (Commodity) captures repair and maintenance services for transmission systems on state and local vehicle fleets, along with OEM parts supply. Recent solicitations show school districts, transit authorities, and municipalities procuring transmission diagnostic services, rebuild labor, parts inventories, and warranty repair on buses and fleet vehicles spanning light-duty pickups to heavy-duty transit chassis. The work includes labor billing on hourly rates, exchange or rebuild services with extended warranties, expedited service fees, and parts discounts pegged to manufacturer suggested retail pricing. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Parkway School District), city transportation and procurement departments (City of Austin), and transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department). The code reflects both narrow, specialized transmission repair (Allison OEM services, Cummins chassis systems) and broader fleet repair scopes where transmission work appears as one line item among multiple drivetrain service categories.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with recent ITQs and IFBs posted from Austin, Hillsborough County (Florida), Broward County (Florida), and Parkway School District (Missouri). The City of Austin issued an IFB for OEM parts and repair services for Allison transmissions with bids due September 15, 2026, requiring authorized manufacturer status and offering local and small-business preferences. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted an ITQ for Chevrolet vehicles diagnostic services (due July 10, 2026, extended by addendum) covering transmission diagnosis and repair at 100 estimated annual hours on an 83-vehicle fleet, pricing quoted hourly with materials on cost-plus basis capped at 15 percent markup. Broward County Transportation Department solicited Cummins engine and chassis system repair (including transmissions and drive axles) for the BCT Bus Fleet through an open-end contract with responses due June 1, 2026. Parkway School District in Missouri sought OEM parts and bus fleet repair services through a blanket purchase order, with intent to bid due May 19, 2026. Vendors face common requirements: authorized-dealer or certified-facility status, minimum experience (typically two to three years), state and local licensing, insurance, and federal compliance (FTA Buy America, Davis-Bacon, debarment verification) where applicable.
