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) encompasses diagnostic and data-retrieval equipment used by state and local transportation agencies to test, diagnose, and extract operational data from vehicle transmissions and related electronic control systems. Recent state and local procurement activity shows this code is being used to acquire crash data retrieval kits and event data recorders (EDRs) from vehicle manufacturers—equipment that reads and extracts critical performance and fault data from transmissions, engines, and safety systems. The primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code are state transportation departments and highway safety agencies, which purchase these kits to support vehicle accident investigation, forensics, and fleet maintenance programs.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is the primary recent buyer, issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB 405-26R0015950) posted June 2, 2026, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, for Crash Data Retrieval Kits and related equipment including CDR DLC Tool Kits with annual software licenses, direct-to-module cable bundles, Hyundai and Kia EDR 2.0 Tool Kits with multiple annual software licenses, Tesla EDR Hardware Kit Bundles, and freight delivery to DPS Headquarters at 5805 N. Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas. The IFB does not designate this as a set-aside procurement and applies uniformly to all qualified vendors, though DPS notes the procurement is advertised as sole source or proprietary under Texas Government Code 2155.067 and encourages qualified vendors offering equivalent products to bid. Bidders must demonstrate financial solvency through audited financial statements for the previous two years or equivalent documentation, submit responses in three volumes with contract forms, technical capabilities with project references, and itemized pricing on a mandatory pricing schedule, with questions due by May 25, 2026. The contract term is one year from the effective date with DPS retaining extension rights for an additional six-month period. No specific budget value is identified in the solicitation materials.
