UNSPSC 22101501: Front end loaders

UNSPSC 22101501 Front end loaders (Commodity) covers compact track loaders, skid steer loaders, and mini excavators that state and local governments procure for road maintenance, grounds care, wastewater operations, and utility work. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties acquiring single units or small fleets through IFB and RFQ processes, with pricing and delivery typically F.O.B. destination. Equipment specifications emphasize horsepower, rated operating capacity, cab climate control, hydraulic quick couplers, and manufacturer warranties. The issuing bodies include water departments, public works departments, parks agencies, school districts, and county governments; the code sees activity from state departments as well. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions appear in the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with solicitations also from Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, Mississippi, Idaho, and Florida posted between February and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for one compact track loader (bids due March 19, 2026); the City of Perry, Georgia's BID 2026-13 for one skid steer track loader (due June 15, 2026); the City of Valdosta's IFB for one Bobcat T770 track loader with bucket and mulcher (due June 23, 2026); the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, Illinois's sealed-bid solicitation for one 2026 ASV RT-135 compact track loader (due June 8, 2026); the Butts County Board of Commissioners' five-year lease for eight pieces of heavy equipment including track loaders and mini excavators (awarded to Yancey Bros, Co. on April 30, 2026); and the Walthall County Board of Supervisors' competitive sealed-bid procurement for one or more compact track loaders (final electronic reverse auction March 11, 2026). Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and addenda are standard. Award decisions typically turn on lowest price, delivery schedule, service proximity, warranty terms, and ability to mobilize or perform. Demand appears steady across both equipment purchase and multi-year lease vehicles.
