UNSPSC 25174814: Hitch drawbar

Often a cold-forged steel or iron bar situated vertically or perpendicular to the line of pull. Serves as the primary transfer of force between the vehicle and the implement.

UNSPSC 25174814 Hitch drawbar (Commodity) shows fragmented state and local procurement activity dominated by fleet maintenance, parts, and repair services rather than hitch drawbars specifically. The recent opportunities on record span automotive diagnostics and repair (Hillsborough County Public Schools), rail vehicle parts inventory (Charlotte Area Transit System), school bus air-conditioning maintenance, mechanical services for state equipment, sanitation truck parts, and OEM parts procurement for various municipal fleets—none of which center on hitch drawbars as a discrete product line. The issuing bodies include large school districts, transit authorities, state departments, and city procurement offices, primarily in Florida, Kentucky, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon. The mix reflects typical state and local fleet-management purchasing: school districts, counties, cities, and state agencies operating vehicle fleets and seeking parts, repairs, maintenance, and diagnostics on ongoing, as-needed, or master-agreement bases.

The geographic footprint spans Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Charlotte Area Transit System, City of Fort Myers, Lee County), Kentucky (Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas A&M University), Oregon (City of Eugene), Missouri (Jackson County, Parkway School District), and limited activity in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ for Chevrolet diagnostic and repair services (posted October 19, 2026; due July 10, 2026), covering transmission, fuel system, drivetrain, and brake services across an 83-vehicle fleet on hourly-rate pricing; the City of Eugene's RFP for Fleet Vehicle and Equipment Parts Price Agreement (posted July 9, 2026; due August 6, 2026), seeking six product categories across automotive, light-duty, heavy-duty, and equipment components; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's ITB for motor pool repair and maintenance at the Austin State Supported Living Center (posted July 20, 2026; due August 3, 2026), with comprehensive engine, transmission, HVAC, brake, and wrecker services across a 61-vehicle fleet. The code shows little recent activity aligned with hitch drawbars as a standalone commodity; most tagged opportunities reflect broader vehicle maintenance and parts contracting where hitch drawbars may appear as subordinate line items within larger repair or parts packages.
