UNSPSC 25174817: Upper link arm

Manual or hydraulic upper arm of a tractor 3-point hitch attaching the tractor to an implement or ballast. The top link is length adjustable, and assists both the stability and angle of the implement to the ground.

UNSPSC 25174817 Upper link arm is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code actually span vehicle diagnostics and repair services (Hillsborough County Public Schools' Chevrolet fleet diagnostic ITQ), transit rail component spare parts (Charlotte Area Transit System's S70 light rail vehicle conical spring inventory), school bus air-conditioning maintenance (Hillsborough County's SBEP-inclusive RFP), and general fleet vehicle parts and repair across multiple jurisdictions and vehicle types. None of these solicitations expressly reference upper link arms or suspension components by that name, and the code appears to be a miscategorization across the dataset. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District, Parkway School District) and municipal transit or vehicle-fleet operators (Charlotte Area Transit System, City of Eugene, Texas A&M University), with scattered county and state-agency procurement offices. The geographic spread includes Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Fort Myers, Lee County), Oregon (Eugene), Texas (Houston, Austin, state agencies), Kentucky (Bluegrass Station), North Carolina (Charlotte), Missouri (Jackson County, Parkway), and Illinois (Department of Transportation).

Recent opportunities show no substantive activity under the upper link arm code itself. The largest and most definitive recent solicitations involve fleet and bus parts, diagnostics, and maintenance across multiple vehicle types and systems—not suspension components specifically. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITQ 26252-ITQDST (posted October 19, 2026; due date previously stated as July 10, 2026, since superseded) for Chevrolet diagnostic and repair services covering an 83-vehicle fleet with pricing on ten service categories including transmission, fuel, drivetrain, exhaust, and brake systems. The City of Eugene issued RFP 20272006 (due August 6, 2026) for fleet vehicle and equipment parts pricing across body, electrical, interior, powertrain, and miscellaneous categories. Neither solicitation isolates or prioritizes upper link arm procurement. The code shows insufficient targeting or volume signal to warrant pursuit as a standalone commodity line.
