UNSPSC 25174215: Leather steering wheel

Automotive steering wheel whose driver interface is wholly or principally composed of processed animal hide.

UNSPSC 25174215 Leather steering wheel (Commodity) does not reflect the vehicle parts and services state and local governments are actually purchasing under this code designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly involve fleet maintenance, automotive parts supply, and vehicle repair services rather than leather steering wheels or other steering components. The issuing bodies include school districts, counties, and municipalities procuring blanket purchase orders, cooperative contracting arrangements, and just-in-time inventory management for their vehicle fleets. Work solicited includes OEM replacement parts on an as-needed basis, fleet inventory management with daily delivery capability, repair and maintenance labor for buses and heavy trucks, and parts supply agreements structured as percentage discounts off manufacturer list prices.

Sourcing is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent activity from Brevard County (Florida), Sarasota County Schools (Florida), Parkway School District (Missouri), the City of Atlanta (Georgia), and cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell serving multiple states. Representative opportunities include Parkway School District's May 2026 RFB for bus fleet OEM parts and repair services (response due May 19, 2026), Brevard County's February 2026 IFB for just-in-time automotive parts and inventory management supporting 1,114 fleet assets (February 25, 2026 bid opening), the City of Atlanta's March 2026 IFB for heavy-duty trailer parts, repair services, and training (May 1, 2026 response date), and Sarasota County Schools' January 2026 bid for automotive and light truck OEM parts with manufacturer-specific discounts (February 12, 2026 deadline). The code shows material activity, but the mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement scope signals tagging inconsistency in the source data.
