UNSPSC 25174217: Vehicle steering gear

A device that is made to deliver the motion from the steering wheel to the steering linkage of a motor vehicle.

UNSPSC 25174217 Vehicle steering gear is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of automotive steering systems and related components for fleet maintenance and repair operations. In practice, the code sees activity driven by school districts, county governments, and municipal transit authorities purchasing OEM replacement parts, assemblies, and repair services for bus fleets, heavy-duty equipment, and general fleet assets. The work solicited under this code typically includes blanket purchase orders for as-needed OEM parts supply, just-in-time inventory management systems that feed parts to maintenance facilities, and full-service repair contracts bundling parts supply with labor and diagnostics. Issuing bodies span school transportation districts, county fleet services, and city departments of public works; repeat buyers in recent activity include Parkway School District in Missouri, Brevard County in Florida, and the City of Atlanta, all managing substantial vehicle and equipment fleets requiring continuous parts replacement and preventive maintenance.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic spread across Florida, Missouri, Georgia, and broader multi-state cooperative purchasing. Parkway School District issued RFQ 26120 in May 2026 for OEM bus parts and repair services on an as-needed basis with a May 19, 2026 response deadline, requiring vendors to maintain adequate parts stock and deliver unavailable items within three days. Brevard County Purchasing Services solicited bids for just-in-time inventory management covering $776,706 in annual automotive parts consumption across a 1,114-asset fleet, with bid opening February 25, 2026, under a five-year contract structure. The City of Atlanta Department of Public Works issued an IFB for heavy-duty trailers, repair services, and parts supply with a May 1, 2026 deadline, specifying 24-hour parts availability for 90 percent of stock and OEM factory technician training requirements. The School Board of Sarasota County issued Bid #26-0124 in January 2026 for a one-year supply agreement covering automotive and light truck repair parts with firm MSRP discounts across named OEM manufacturers, with a February 12, 2026 submission deadline via electronic portal and Florida preference policies in effect.
