UNSPSC 26112001: Pressure plate

UNSPSC 26112001 Pressure plate (Commodity) covers brake system components and related parts that state and local governments procure for vehicle fleet maintenance, repair, and replacement. The code captures brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters — components required across passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, county transportation and parks departments, and special-purpose authorities managing port operations and infrastructure assets. Work ranges from supplying OEM-certified new and remanufactured brake components to brake system installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency-stopping mechanism upgrades.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County School District issued an ITB for Motor Vehicle Brake Parts (ITB #26-AM-016, due August 24, 2026) with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000 covering brake components for two vehicle classes — passenger vehicles and light trucks, and medium/heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers — with parts required to be factory-approved and OEM-certified, new or remanufactured as specified. Broward County issued a Request for Information (RFI #BLD6232026F12, due July 1, 2026) to contest a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps installation, parts, and maintenance for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, seeking evidence of comparable or alternate sources capable of providing brake systems and emergency-stopping mechanisms. Florida-based businesses in the Pinellas County solicitation receive a 5 percent preference when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. Suppliers must meet location, OEM warranty, and liability requirements; pricing remains firm through the initial contract period with price changes at renewal capped at the previous year's CPI-U percentage change.
