UNSPSC 25191745: Tire iron

Used to aid in removing the lug nuts when changing a tire.

UNSPSC 25191745 Tire iron (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal product scope. The code's title refers to a hand tool — a mechanical lever for removing vehicle tires from rims — but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit tire irons as discrete line items. Instead, they center on bulk tire procurement, tire services (mounting, balancing, patching, retreading, disposal), tire leasing, and automotive repair parts programs, none of which involve the sale or supply of tire iron tools. The only solicitation remotely connected to the code's literal scope — a blanket purchase order from Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (REQ2099086) for tire and shop supplies — does not disclose specific line items; access to the detailed bid table requires Bonfire registration, preventing verification that tire irons are actually requested.

State and local solicitations under this code over the past four months (March–July 2026) span county governments (Collier County, Florida; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority; Hillsborough County, Florida), city transit authorities (Fort Worth Transportation Authority, City of Atlanta), and a school district (School Board of Sarasota County). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Representative opportunities include Collier County's ITB 25-8357 for tires and tire services (bid due March 17, 2026), City of Atlanta's IFB for tires, disposal, and repair services (bid due May 8, 2026), and Fort Worth Transportation Authority's RFP 26T024 for five-year tire leasing services (due April 2, 2026). The mismatch between the code's literal product definition and the procurements actually tagged under it suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a legacy classification issue. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope with each issuing body before committing resources; tire iron as a hand tool does not appear to be an active state and local procurement category at present.
