UNSPSC 26101789: Engine head gasket

A gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder head(s) in an internal combustion engine

UNSPSC 26101789 Engine head gasket is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure engine head gaskets and related automotive powertrain components as part of broader fleet maintenance and repair supply agreements, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal direct activity specific to gaskets alone. The work actually being bought under the code encompasses aftermarket and OEM engine parts, brake components, filters, belts, electrical parts, and miscellaneous heavy-duty truck and bus components supplied through inventory management services, parts-supply contracts, and fleet repair vendor agreements. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (Brevard County, Collier County, Williamson County), city fleet services and public works offices (City of Gainesville, City of Atlanta), school districts (School Board of Sarasota County), and municipal transit authorities (City of Gainesville for bus operations). State purchasing cooperatives such as Sourcewell also administer multi-jurisdictional purchasing agreements that include engine and powertrain parts as line items within larger vehicle maintenance procurement frameworks.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Minnesota, and Washington, with the heaviest concentration in Florida county and municipal fleets. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Gainesville's ITB for Heavy-Duty Bus and Truck Brakes and Miscellaneous Parts (response due May 12, 2026), which covers eight lots of specialized brake kits, air systems, belts, filters, and charging components; Brevard County's ITB for Just-in-Time inventory management services for fleet automotive parts (bid opening February 25, 2026), a five-year contract covering approximately $776,706 in annual parts usage; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's joint purchase master contract with Sourcewell for aftermarket vehicle parts and supplies (awarded April 9, 2026, to Genuine Parts Company / NAPA Auto Parts for $7,500,000 over three years). Collier County's single-source notice to Tampa Truck Center LLC for OEM and aftermarket medium and heavy-duty truck parts, Freightliner and Western Star components, and diagnostic services (response deadline February 25, 2026) and the School Board of Sarasota County's bid for automotive and light truck repair parts with discounts off MSRP (due February 12, 2026) round out the recent solicitation activity, suggesting steady but not concentrated procurement of gaskets and related powertrain components as subordinate line items within fleet-wide parts supply agreements rather than as standalone commodity buys.
