UNSPSC 25174202: Steering suspension

UNSPSC 25174202 Steering suspension is a Commodity code that encompasses replacement and repair components for vehicle steering and suspension systems procured by state and local governments. State and local entities buy steering and suspension parts primarily through blanket purchase orders and cooperative frameworks that allow for as-needed ordering throughout a contract term. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts operating bus fleets, county governments, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing entities. Parkway School District in Missouri, for example, has actively sought OEM replacement parts for bus fleet steering and suspension repair, along with associated labor and maintenance services.

Steering suspension procurement activity concentrates in the Midwest, particularly Missouri, with secondary presence in the Pacific Northwest through Washington state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Parkway School District (Missouri) issued RFQ 26120 on May 5, 2026, closing May 19, 2026, for blanket OEM parts and service covering bus fleet repair operations, requiring bidders to maintain adequate facilities, qualified personnel, and three-day parts-availability commitments. Sourcewell, the Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, closing June 16, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment available to participating jurisdictions across Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and Canada—though this solicitation does not explicitly address steering suspension components. Recent activity shows school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles as primary buyers, with the most concrete steering suspension procurement signaled through school bus fleet maintenance and repair contracts that specify OEM parts, local vendor preference where applicable, and multi-year blanket purchase agreements.
