UNSPSC 25174818: Lower link arm

The two lower arms of the 3-pont hitch that enables the lifting and lowering of the attached implement. The lower link arms are controlled by the operator via the tractor's lift arms and hydraulic system.

UNSPSC 25174818 Lower link arm is a Commodity code covering replacement suspension and steering linkage components that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance and repair operations. Recent solicitations across the dataset show that the code encompasses a much broader market signal than the nominal component name suggests — the opportunities actually being posted cluster around aftermarket vehicle parts, OEM parts, batteries, emission-control components, and related fleet consumables. State and local buyers are issuing RFQs, RFBs, and ITBs for blanket purchase agreements and master orders covering parts inventories that support vehicle fleets ranging from school buses to heavy-duty trucks to police patrol units. Issuing bodies include county transportation departments, county purchasing offices on behalf of fleet services divisions, school districts, municipal and county governments, regional transit authorities, and state higher-education procurement offices. The mix is diverse — no single type of jurisdiction dominates, though county fleet services departments and school districts appear frequently as repeat buyers in recent postings.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with notable concentration in Texas (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas A&M University, Texas Comptroller cooperative purchasing), Florida (Brevard County, Pinellas County Schools, Sarasota County Schools, Town of Palm Beach, City of Gainesville), Georgia (Columbia County), Missouri (Jackson County, Rockwood School District, Parkway School District), California (San Bernardino County), and the broader Southeast and Midwest. Representative solicitations include the City of Eugene, Oregon RFP 20272006 for a Fleet Vehicle and Equipment Parts Price Agreement (sealed proposals due August 6, 2026), covering six product categories with OEM, aftermarket, and remanufactured parts across a five-year term; Texas A&M University ITB 26-5051 for after-market auto parts and accessories at negotiated discounts (sealed bids due July 21, 2026); and Seminole County Public Schools ITB 25260067B-TL for supplemental school bus and white fleet parts, accessories, and repairs (bid closing January 8, 2026). Master orders and cooperative purchasing agreements dominate the structure, with most contracts running one to five years and allowing for renewal options. Pricing is typically firm for the initial term, structured as discounts off manufacturer list price or cost-plus-markup arrangements, and delivery is almost universally FOB destination with freight prepaid or included.
