UNSPSC 25174206: Drag link

UNSPSC 25174206 Drag link (Commodity) represents a narrow component category that state and local procurement offices tag to fleet and vehicle maintenance solicitations, but recent activity shows minimal direct procurement of drag links themselves. Instead, the code appears in broader fleet parts and repair service solicitations where drag links are potential line items within larger OEM parts agreements. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts, county fleet services departments, and municipal public works offices. The scope of work actually being solicited centers on blanket purchase orders and indefinite-quantity agreements for automotive and heavy-equipment replacement parts supplied on an as-needed basis, combined with repair labor and parts-room management services that encompass drag links as subsidiary components alongside brakes, filters, wiper blades, bearings, and other OEM inventory.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with school districts (Parkway School District in Missouri, Sarasota County Schools in Florida) and county/city fleet operations (Brevard County in Florida, City of Atlanta in Georgia) issuing the most substantive solicitations. Representative opportunities include Parkway School District's May 2026 IFB for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service, due May 19, 2026, seeking qualified distributors to supply replacement parts for its bus fleet on a blanket purchase order basis; the School Board of Sarasota County's January 2026 Bid #26-0124 for Automotive/Light Truck Repair Parts, due February 12, 2026, establishing a one-year supply agreement with options to renew for two additional one-year periods; and Brevard County Purchasing Services' April 2026 IFB for Just-in-Time inventory management services for fleet automotive parts, due February 25, 2026, with an estimated budget of $730,000 for 2025–26 and 1,114 county assets under maintenance. These solicitations treat drag links as components within broader parts-procurement frameworks rather than as discrete line items.
