UNSPSC 26112002: Driven plate

UNSPSC 26112002 Driven plate is a Commodity code covering brake components and related friction and holding systems for motor vehicles across multiple weight classes and applications. State and local governments procure driven plates, brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses, hardware kits, and brake boosters through this code, with OEM certification, manufacturer warranties, and liability indemnification typically required. Issuing bodies include school districts, county transit and fleet operations, and regional authorities managing diverse vehicle fleets. Pinellas County School District and Broward County represent recent active buyers. The scope extends beyond passenger-vehicle brakes to encompass medium and heavy-duty truck, bus, trailer, and specialized equipment (container gantry crane) brake systems, with some solicitations requiring components to be new or remanufactured as specified.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County School District issued ITB #26-AM-016 for motor vehicle brake parts (pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and boosters) for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium/heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trailers, with bids due August 24, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of approximately $190,000; the district applies a 5 percent preference to Florida businesses when the lowest bid is from an out-of-state supplier whose state does not grant reciprocal preference. Broward County issued an RFI (BLD6232026F12, due July 1, 2026) contesting a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps for container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, seeking evidence of comparable or alternative suppliers. Suppliers must meet OEM certification requirements, provide factory-approved components, and in the Pinellas case, be located within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center with pricing and freight F.O.B. to specified compounds.
