UNSPSC 25174003: Radiator caps

UNSPSC 25174003 Radiator caps is a Commodity code that covers radiator assemblies and cooling-system components for vehicle fleets. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly targeting radiator caps as standalone products; instead, the code appears in procurement contexts where cooling-system components are bundled within broader automotive parts, fleet maintenance, or heavy-equipment repair work. Broward County's June 2026 ITB for two Bearward Radiator units destined for a Paceco Crane at Port Everglades represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity, emphasizing specification-driven procurement of complete radiator systems with cooling fans, protection guards, and one-year manufacturer warranty delivered FOB Destination within 150 calendar days. Beyond that specific solicitation, the code sees use within aggregated vehicle-parts and fleet-supply programs rather than as a targeted line item—notably in Brevard County's just-in-time inventory management services for 1,114 fleet assets (February 2026 bid opening), Sarasota County Schools' automotive and light truck repair parts agreement (January 2026), and Sacramento County's bulk antifreeze/coolant procurement (February 2026). Issuing bodies include county fleet services departments, school districts managing transportation fleets, and municipal utility authorities; no standout repeat buyers of radiator caps specifically are evident from the recent record.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Broward, Collier, Sarasota, and Brevard counties), with secondary presence in Georgia (Macon Water Authority's by-pass pump system, April 2026) and California (Sacramento County). Geographic spread across the broader fleet-maintenance category spans multiple states (Missouri school districts, New Jersey Bergen County vacuum pump system, Washington state law-enforcement cooperative), but direct radiator-cap procurement solicitations remain sparse. The code appears subordinate to general parts-supply and fleet-maintenance frameworks rather than generating standalone RFPs or RFQs. Pursuit of opportunities under this code is likely most viable through pre-existing fleet-parts contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements with jurisdictions managing large transportation or equipment fleets, where radiator systems and cooling components are routine maintenance items.
