UNSPSC 25174218: Motorcycle handle and grips

Motorcycle steering wheel components useful to accelerate or de-accelerate

UNSPSC 25174218 Motorcycle handle and grips is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not capture active procurement activity for motorcycle components or accessories. The code's nominal scope—handles and grip assemblies for motorcycles—aligns with aftermarket or replacement parts for vehicle maintenance and repair, yet the recent-opportunities block contains zero solicitations seeking motorcycle handles, grips, or related accessory components. Instead, the block displays ten opportunities, all issued between January and July 2026, soliciting complete law enforcement motorcycles (police pursuit bikes) together with repair services, parts supply, training, and warranty support. These are full-vehicle procurements, not component-level purchases. The disconnect between the code's commodity definition and the actual buying activity suggests that state and local jurisdictions classify police motorcycle acquisitions at a higher level in their procurement taxonomies, likely under vehicle or equipment classes rather than under component-specific UNSPSC codes.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions: the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Public Safety), the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, the City of Atlanta Police Department, Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit acting as a cooperative purchasing vehicle), the City of St. Cloud (Florida), the City of Phoenix Public Works Department, the City of Flowood (Mississippi), and the Nevada Department of Public Safety. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, Mississippi, and Nevada, with a broader multi-state cooperative opportunity through Sourcewell. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Comptroller's IFB for 12 law enforcement motorcycles (response date May 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of CMS's IFB for a joint purchase master contract for police pursuit motorcycles (response date July 2, 2026), and the City of Atlanta's IFBs for fully equipped police pursuit motorcycles with repair services and parts supply (multiple postings between February and March 2026 with various response dates). All are IFB or ITB format procurements. The code shows no relevant recent activity and warrants a skip from business development professionals focused on motorcycle components or aftermarket parts.
