UNSPSC 22100000: Heavy construction machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 22100000 Heavy construction machinery and equipment is a Family code encompassing truck-mounted and mobile heavy equipment purchases by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to supply and maintain fleet assets for transportation, public works, and waste-management operations — recently solicited items include backhoes, skid-steer loaders, asphalt distributors, wheeled excavators, dump trucks, vibratory rollers, and specialty attachments. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the breadth of the code: counties (Hillsborough County, Collin County, Beaufort County, Marion County, Missouri Department of Transportation), cities (Wichita, Meriden, Pittsburgh, Shelton, Gardner, Rio Rancho), special districts (Regional Refuse Disposal District #1 in Connecticut, Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in California), and state departments of transportation. Repeat buyers include MoDOT, which has posted multiple solicitations for asphalt distributors (single- and tandem-axle configurations) through October 2026, and several Florida and Connecticut jurisdictions acquiring backhoes and loader-mounted equipment for routine fleet replenishment.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with sustained procurement from Florida (Hillsborough County, Marion County, Citrus County), Connecticut (Regional Refuse Disposal District #1, Town of Enfield, City of Meriden), Pennsylvania (through PennDOT-administered contracts), and Missouri (MoDOT statewide solicitations). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners requesting competitive sealed bids for various fleet vehicles and equipment estimated at $900,500 (ITB, October 30, 2026 response date), Beaufort County Procurement Services issuing an IFB for one compact wheeled excavator with multipurpose tool carrier under S/MBE participation requirements (October 21, 2026 response date), Regional Refuse Disposal District #1 accepting bids for a new backhoe with no contract value stated (October 23, 2026 response date), and Missouri Department of Transportation accepting bids for statewide oil distributors (single-axle 2,000-gallon and tandem-axle 3,000-gallon asphalt units with three-year terms and two one-year renewal options, October 12, 2026 response date). Activity shows steady demand for equipment replacement and fleet modernization across both routine acquisitions and larger capital projects, with prevailing wage and DBE participation requirements common where federal funding or state highway work applies.
