UNSPSC 25174211: Steering wheels

UNSPSC 25174211 Steering wheels is a Commodity code that captures aftermarket and OEM steering wheel components and assemblies procured by state and local transportation and equipment-management departments. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing steering wheels and related steering systems primarily through blanket purchase orders and cooperative procurement frameworks that bundle steering components with broader vehicle parts and service agreements. The solicitations target school districts, county purchasing departments, and regional transit authorities managing bus fleets and emergency response vehicles. Work under this code typically involves supplying replacement steering wheels, steering columns, and related hardware on an as-needed basis to fleet operators, with vendors expected to maintain adequate parts inventory, provide installation labor where required, and source unavailable components within defined lead times.

Activity under the code remains sparse in the recent opportunities record. The only substantive state-local procurement touching steering components appears in Parkway School District's May 2026 RFQ for bus and vehicle OEM parts and service (solicitation 26120, due May 19, 2026), which sought OEM replacement parts for its bus fleet under a blanket purchase order covering a twenty-four-month term with local-vendor preference when quality, price, and delivery align. A Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626, due June 16, 2026) may include vehicle steering components within its broader law enforcement equipment scope, though the procurement description does not itemize steering systems. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Missouri and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state through Sourcewell's participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties), with limited signals of broader national activity under this code tier.
