UNSPSC 25174813: Hitch ball

A spherical ball that provides the attachment point for socket-style hitches. The hitch ball contains a bolt and nut on the lower portion that connects to a drawbar or hitch frame.

UNSPSC 25174813 Hitch ball is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect hitch ball procurement but instead represent vehicle diagnostic and repair services, transit spare parts, school bus air-conditioning maintenance, inventory management systems, mechanical services, specialized fleet equipment parts and repairs, and automotive parts and accessories across multiple vehicle classes and equipment types. No state or local solicitation in the dataset explicitly requests hitch balls or trailer ball couplings as a primary deliverable or line item.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITQ for Chevrolet vehicle diagnostic and repair services (ITQ 26252-ITQ-DST, due July 10, 2026), and Charlotte Area Transit System solicited S70 light rail vehicle conical spring inventory spare parts (RFP 26920272144, due November 2, 2026), but neither scope includes hitch balls. The City of Fort Myers issued multiple sole-source notices in August 2026 for OEM parts, repairs, and service for equipment ranging from Bobcat, CASE, Kubota UTVs, Vac-Con trailers, and Allison transmissions—all tied to warranty-preservation justifications—yet none specifically targets hitch ball procurement. State and local buyers appear to source trailer and vehicle coupling hardware through broader fleet parts agreements, cooperative purchasing facilities, or as line items within larger mechanical repair and maintenance contracts rather than through standalone commodity procurement. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement targeting and monitor broader fleet equipment or automotive parts codes where hitch balls are more likely to appear as component line items within larger solicitations.
