UNSPSC 22101507: Tampers

UNSPSC 22101507 Tampers, a Commodity code, covers walk-behind compaction equipment and related earthwork machinery that state and local governments procure for road rehabilitation, utility infrastructure work, and general site preparation. Recent solicitations show demand for reversible plate compactors rated for professional-grade soil and aggregate compaction, as well as larger hydraulic compactor attachments integrated with excavation equipment on comprehensive infrastructure projects. Counties and regional water authorities are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting equipment either as standalone purchases through quick-quote processes or as components within broader pavement rehabilitation and bridge construction contracts that bundle labor, materials, and equipment into single procurements.

California (Santa Clara County in particular) and Florida dominate recent activity, with Georgia showing a secondary presence. Santa Clara County has issued multiple IFB notices for expressway and bridge work through 2026, including the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (IFB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) and the Expressway Guardrail Replacement project (IFB ITBRDAFY260652, due April 23, 2026). Sarasota County, Florida issued a Quick Quote solicitation (2026QQ664, due April 1, 2026) for two walk-behind reversible plate compactors with a maximum bid cap of $50,000 and technical specifications calling for Honda GX200-equivalent engines and 6,000-pound minimum centrifugal force. The Macon Water Authority in Georgia solicited sealed bids (PE33561NONST2026000000054, due April 14, 2026) for a Mini X Excavator paired with two Steelwrist S40 hydraulic compactors. Santa Clara County also posted the Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement Project (IFB ITBRDAFY260559, due March 5, 2026), a 140-working-day effort requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance and environmental permits.
