UNSPSC 25174006: Cooling water hose assembly

A rubber hose that is used in the cooling system of the internal combustion engine for the vehicle and also used in the heating system of the vehicle.

UNSPSC 25174006 Cooling water hose assembly is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy cooling system components for fleet and facility maintenance under this code, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of hose assemblies themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring related cooling and fluid management systems—including radiators for port equipment, antifreeze and coolant bulk supplies, pump systems, and comprehensive fleet parts agreements that encompass hose assemblies as line items within broader automotive and vehicle repair inventories. The mix of issuing bodies spans county purchasing departments, municipal fleet services, water authorities, school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Collier County's Public Utilities Wastewater Division, Brevard County Fleet Services, and Macon Water Authority have driven recent activity around bypass pump and pressurized fluid systems; Sacramento County and Sarasota County Schools are procuring bulk coolant and fleet parts on supply agreements that include hose and coupling components.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Broward County, Brevard County, Sarasota County), with secondary representation in Georgia (Macon Water Authority), California (Sacramento County), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and North Carolina (Bergen County RFP for vacuum pump system replacement). Collier County's ITB 258523 for Bypass Pump Preventative Maintenance, Repair and Replacement with proposals due February 9, 2026, and Brevard County's IFB B52621 for Just-in-Time inventory management of fleet parts (bid opening February 25, 2026) are the most directly relevant opportunities, as both contemplate hose assemblies and fluid-carrying components within their scope. Sacramento County's RFB 2025-RFB-0026 for bulk red antifreeze/coolant delivery (proposals due February 18, 2026) and Sarasota County Schools' Bid #26-0124 for automotive repair parts (proposals due February 12, 2026) embed hose assemblies within larger supply agreements. Broward County's radiator procurement (BLD2131679B1, proposals due June 26, 2026) is tangential—radiators are cooling devices but do not include hose assemblies as the primary deliverable. No recent solicitations directly specify cooling water hose assembly as a standalone product line item; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete within bundled fleet maintenance, cooperative parts supply, or equipment-specific replacement contracts rather than standalone hose procurement.
