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 representing discrete automotive electrical components and replacement parts purchased by state and local fleets, public works departments, and school districts for vehicle and equipment maintenance. State and local governments procure starter motors as part of broader fleet repair and parts supply programs, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation activity specific to this individual component—activity instead clusters at the family and class level around aftermarket vehicle parts supply and fleet inventory management.

The issuing bodies active in automotive parts procurement span state cooperative purchasing programs, county fleet services, municipal departments of public works, and school districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, anchors a significant portion of this activity, having structured a $7.5 million three-year joint purchase master contract awarded to Genuine Parts Company (NAPA Auto Parts) through the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services (contract 26-416CMS-BOSS4-B-51821, with a Notice of Award posted April 9, 2026) to supply aftermarket vehicle parts and supplies to governmental units and qualified nonprofits across multiple states. Brevard County Purchasing Services (Florida) and the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works represent direct municipal fleet management activity, with Brevard County soliciting just-in-time inventory management services for automotive parts (bid B52621, due February 25, 2026) and Atlanta issuing an invitation for bid on heavy-duty trailer repair services and parts (PE66062NONST2026000000333, due May 1, 2026). The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida established a one-year supply agreement for automotive and light truck repair parts (bid 26-0124, due February 12, 2026) with options to renew. Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, and Washington through Sourcewell cooperative arrangements, with additional scattered activity across the broader state and local base. No recent opportunities specifically name engine starter motors as discrete line items; the code appears to encompass a component-level categorization that state and local bodies typically acquire through broader parts catalogs and supply agreements rather than standalone solicitations.
