UNSPSC 25174200: Steering system

UNSPSC 25174200 Steering system is a Class code covering replacement parts and repair services for vehicle steering components that state and local governments buy for fleet maintenance. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a disconnect from the nominal scope—the source contains one administrative relocation notice for Williamson County Purchasing (no procurement value), one cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell (unrelated to steering systems), and one bus fleet parts and service solicitation from Parkway School District in Missouri that does address vehicle components broadly but does not isolate steering work. The Parkway School District RFB does solicit OEM replacement parts and repair labor for its bus fleet on an as-needed basis under a blanket purchase order, with vendors required to maintain qualified staff, reasonable parts inventory, and the ability to source unavailable parts within three days. Issuing bodies using this code appear to span school districts and county purchasing departments, though the recent record is too sparse to characterize the mix reliably.

Geographic activity is limited in the recent record to Texas (Williamson County relocation notice) and Missouri (Parkway School District). Parkway School District issued RFB 26120 for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service with a bid-closure date of May 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST, requiring F.O.B. destination pricing, proof of insurance with $1 million combined single limits for liability coverage, and submission through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal. Award notification was scheduled for June 11, 2026, with a twenty-four-month initial contract term and the District retaining discretion to reject bids, split awards across vendors, or terminate with thirty days' notice. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors were identified, though the District encourages U.S. manufacturing and provides preference to Missouri-manufactured commodities when comparable on quality, price, and delivery. The code shows minimal recent activity, and the limited opportunities in the block do not establish robust demand signals for steering-system-specific work at the state or local level.
