UNSPSC 22101507: Tampers

UNSPSC 22101507 Tampers, a Commodity code, covers compaction and soil-stabilization equipment that state and local governments procure as part of road construction, pavement rehabilitation, and site-preparation projects. While the code nominally describes individual tamping tools and machines, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader pavement and infrastructure work where compaction equipment is one component among many — asphalt overlay, concrete work, drainage installation, and traffic signal upgrades. County transportation and public works departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, purchasing tampers and related compaction machinery as line items within larger capital projects rather than as standalone equipment procurements.

Santa Clara County, California has posted one recent opportunity under this code: an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026. The scope includes partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, concrete curb and gutter installation, ADA improvements, and related work, with an anticipated 142 working-day schedule. Physical bids only are accepted; the posting does not disclose a budget range, set-asides, or incumbent restrictions. This single recent opportunity suggests limited current activity under the code at the state and local level — most compaction and tamping equipment procurement appears folded into broader pavement and site-work RFPs rather than solicited as discrete commodity purchases.
