UNSPSC 26112104: Braking clutch assemblies

UNSPSC 26112104 Braking clutch assemblies is a Commodity code that encompasses brake components and systems for motor vehicles, including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and boosters supplied to state and local fleet operators. Recent solicitations show school districts and county transit authorities as primary buyers, with components procured for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and specialized industrial cranes. Suppliers must typically provide factory-approved, OEM-certified parts with manufacturer warranties and indemnification; components are specified as new or remanufactured per contract requirements. School districts source brake parts through annual supply contracts with firm pricing and optional renewal periods, while specialized transport authorities solicit branded systems for critical infrastructure applications.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with recent solicitations from Pinellas County Schools District (Motor Vehicle Brake Parts ITB #26-AM-016, due August 24, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $190,000) and Broward County (RFI for Bubenzer brakes and rail clamps at Port Everglades, due July 1, 2026). The Pinellas County opportunity covers two vehicle classes across four service compounds with a one-year contract period running October 28, 2026 through October 27, 2027 and optional two-year renewals; the district applies a 5 percent Florida vendor preference when the low bid is from an out-of-state supplier in a non-reciprocal state and requires suppliers to operate within 40 miles of the Walter Pownall Service Center. Broward County's RFI tests whether Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. is a sole-source provider for crane brake systems at container gantry cranes, inviting vendors to demonstrate comparable capability or contest the designation.
