UNSPSC 25173902: Engine starter motor

A type of motor that starts a gas or diesel engine

UNSPSC 25173902 Engine starter motor is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with engine starter motor procurement. Of the three substantive opportunities in the recent record, one is administrative (a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice), one is a market-availability assessment by Broward County, Florida regarding crane system engineering and maintenance services unrelated to starter motors, and one is a cooperative purchasing RFP by Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and other entities for law enforcement equipment. The single opportunity with concrete procurement scope—a three-quote request from Lubbock Power & Light in Texas for electrical components and hardware—encompasses lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, and clamps, but no starter motors. The divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either mislabeling in the state and local systems or a code that sees minimal relevant transaction volume at this tier.

The geographic spread of opportunities is limited to Texas (Lubbock Power & Light), Florida (Broward County), and a multi-state cooperative framework through Sourcewell (Washington counties as named participants, with national scope). No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity emerges from the recent record. Given the sparse and misaligned recent opportunities, this code does not currently show actionable procurement signals for a starter motor vendor. Prospective bidders should verify the actual commodity classification in target jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing in business development under this code.
