UNSPSC 25174204: Power steering system

UNSPSC 25174204 Power steering system (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The single identifiable solicitation—Parkway School District's May 2026 RFQ for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service—treats power steering components as part of a broader blanket purchase order for bus fleet repair and maintenance parts, not as a discrete procurement line. The District is seeking qualified distributors to supply OEM replacement parts on an as-needed basis and to provide labor and equipment for all repair and maintenance operations on its bus fleet, with vendors required to maintain adequate facilities, qualified personnel, and reasonable stock of parts with ability to source unavailable items within approximately three days.

The code shows activity concentrated in the Midwest, represented by Parkway School District (Missouri). The school district's May 19, 2026 response deadline and June 11, 2026 award notification frame the active window. Two other records posted under the code—a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice (Texas) and a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for Law Enforcement Equipment (multi-state)—do not constitute power steering opportunities and reflect misclassification in state and local tracking systems. Vendors pursuing this code should expect requests embedded within larger vehicle parts and service frameworks rather than standalone power steering system solicitations. The District encourages products manufactured in the United States and provides preference to commodities manufactured in Missouri when quality, price, and delivery are comparable, with awards determined on a lowest or best bid basis considering vendor capability to supply multiple items, inventory commitment, and prior District experience.
