UNSPSC 26111902: Diaphragm clutch

UNSPSC 26111902 Diaphragm clutch is a Commodity code that in practice spans brake system components and related vehicle maintenance parts procured by state and local transit, school, and port authorities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that public agencies are buying brake components including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits — parts needed for fleet maintenance and repair programs across vehicle classes from passenger cars to heavy-duty buses and trailers. Issuing bodies include school district transportation departments, county port authorities, and other municipal vehicle maintenance operations. Suppliers must typically hold OEM certification and provide factory-approved components with manufacturer warranties; the code also captures brake system infrastructure such as rail clamps and emergency stopping mechanisms used at container facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County School District posted ITB #26-AM-016 on July 27, 2026 (due August 24, 2026) for motor vehicle brake parts estimated at approximately $190,000 annually, covering passenger vehicles through heavy-duty trucks and requiring F.O.B. delivery to four district compounds and Florida business preference eligibility. Broward County issued a Request for Information on June 23, 2026 (due July 1, 2026) contesting a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps installation and maintenance at Port Everglades, seeking evidence of comparable multivendor capability. A third posting from DeKalb County, Georgia (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026) nominally tagged to this code addressed IT infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction and shows misalignment with the diaphragm clutch scope. The school district and port authority represent the most visible recent buyers under this code.
