UNSPSC 22100000: Heavy construction machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 22100000 Heavy construction machinery and equipment, a Family code, encompasses the procurement of heavy earthmoving and paving equipment that state and local governments deploy across infrastructure maintenance, construction, and emergency-response operations. Recent solicitations reveal active buying of wheeled loaders, skid steer loaders, track loaders, asphalt maintenance and paving equipment, snow removal blades, and specialized items such as tree care handlers and wood chippers—often bundled with operator training, extended warranties, and on-call service agreements. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of transportation and administrative services (Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, Utah), county public works and engineering offices (Marion, Okaloosa, Broward, Santa Clara, Williamson County), municipalities (Wichita, Fort Myers, Peoria, Palm Bay, Milpitas), school districts (Beaver County), transit authorities (MBTA), and special-purpose districts (Mountain Village Public Infrastructure District). State transportation and equipment procurement appears concentrated among repeat buyers such as Connecticut DAS, New Hampshire DAS, and Massachusetts DCR.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, with particular activity in Florida (Marion, Orange, Broward, Sarasota, and Lee counties), Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Utah, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Moab's Pack Creek Pedestrian Bridge Replacement and Channel Restoration Project (IFB, September 1, 2026 response date, involving excavation, riprap, and channel restoration equipment), Connecticut DAS's request for asphalt maintenance equipment including OEM replacement parts and accessories (supplemental solicitation, August 14, 2026 response date, extended to political subdivisions statewide), the City of Wichita's four-wheel drive articulated tree care handler procurement (RFB, June 12, 2026 response date, including eight hours operator training and sixteen hours maintenance training), and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's CAT 930 wheel loader purchase (RFQ VEH111, June 5, 2026 response date, $240,000 estimated value, with 2,500-hour service plan). Evaluation criteria across these procurements typically emphasize price, conformity to equipment specifications, warranty terms, delivery capability, and past vendor performance; many incorporate prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance where federal funding applies. Activity is current and ongoing through mid-July 2026.
