UNSPSC 25191744: Tire retreading machine

A machine to recycle worn tires, where the tire body is used and the old and worn tread is removed through scratch and application of a new tread.

UNSPSC 25191744 Tire retreading machine is a Commodity code that covers tire retreading and related tire servicing equipment, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing demand for tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty services rather than the equipment itself. The Orlando Utilities Commission's RFP PR9446, posted September 28, 2026, requests comprehensive tire services on an as-needed basis across multiple facility locations, including on-road and off-road tire sales and installation, removal of worn or damaged tires, credit for casings suitable for retreading, and foam filling when required. Work spans four OUC facility locations with a three-year contract term and two optional one-year renewal extensions. Bidders must maintain an established office within 50 miles of OUC's Reliable Plaza location and demonstrate a minimum of 10 years of industry experience in similar services. The contract requires firm pricing throughout the term, Worker's Compensation and General Liability insurance, and compliance with drug-free workplace policies for safety-sensitive positions.

The code shows limited recent activity at the state and local level; the Orlando Utilities Commission represents the primary issuing body with a concrete solicitation under this code, while other recent postings in the dataset (Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement and Williamson County's administrative notice) are unrelated to tire services or retreading. Geographic activity centers on Florida with the OUC opportunity, and no other states have posted solicitations explicitly coded to tire retreading in the recent window. Responses to the OUC RFP were due September 16, 2026. Evaluation criteria include qualifications and experience, responsiveness to requirements, safety and quality programs, financial soundness, and price; OUC reserves the right to negotiate with responsive and responsible bidders and to reject any or all proposals.
