UNSPSC 25191828: Automatic transmission tester

Equipment used to test the capability and diagnose faults in vehicle automatic transmission performance.

UNSPSC 25191828 Automatic transmission tester (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains five recent opportunities tagged to this code, but only one—the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0015950 for crash data retrieval kits and related equipment, posted June 2, 2026 with a May 29, 2026 response deadline—relates to automotive diagnostics and testing. The remaining four opportunities involve procurement of an exhaust analyzer (California), a four-post lift (Worth County, Georgia), automotive repair parts (Sarasota County Schools, Florida), and an administrative notice of office relocation (Williamson County, Texas), none of which match automatic transmission testing equipment or services. The crash data retrieval solicitation represents the most relevant recent activity under the code, comprising six line items including CDR DLC Tool Kits, direct-to-module cable bundles, Hyundai/Kia and Tesla EDR hardware kits, and freight to DPS Headquarters in Austin. Bidders must demonstrate financial solvency through audited financial statements, submit responses electronically or via the DPS Online Bid Room, and comply with federal and state compliance requirements including cybersecurity training and debarment certifications; the contract runs one year from execution with an optional six-month extension, on a no-minimum, as-needed basis with no identified incumbent.

State and local procurement activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas, with the primary recent opportunity issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The exhaust analyzer RFB from California (posted March 11, 2026, due March 20, 2026) and the equipment purchases from Georgia and Florida suggest broader geographic interest in automotive testing and service equipment, but misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities actually posted raises questions about whether this code is the appropriate classification for transmission-specific testing equipment in state and local procurement systems. The code warrants monitoring for future activity, but current opportunity flow suggests limited pursuit potential absent a clearer pipeline of transmission-diagnostic solicitations.
