UNSPSC 22101511: Compactors

UNSPSC 22101511 Compactors (Commodity) describes walk-behind and ride-on soil and aggregate compaction equipment, though state and local governments procure compactors primarily as line items within larger road and site construction contracts rather than as standalone equipment purchases. Recent solicitations show compactors appearing in two distinct procurement contexts: embedded in pavement rehabilitation and roadway construction ITBs where compaction is one task among many, and as discrete equipment purchases through quick quotes or sealed bids. Santa Clara County has issued multiple ITBs for expressway projects—including the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) and the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (ITB ITBRDAFY260652, due April 23, 2026)—where compactors support asphalt overlay, paving, and site preparation work. When procured as standalone equipment, jurisdictions specify engine horsepower, base-plate dimensions, vibration frequency, and operating weight; Sarasota County's Quick Quote for two reversible plate compactors (solicitation 2026QQ664, due April 1, 2026) required 300–350 pound operating weight, Honda GX200 engines, and 6,000 pound minimum centrifugal force with a $50,000 aggregate bid cap. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments and water authorities; Santa Clara County, Sarasota County, and the Macon Water Authority appear as recent buyers.

Activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia. Santa Clara County dominates the recent pipeline with multiple road rehabilitation and bridge replacement projects posted between February and May 2026. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection solicited road repair work at Oleta River State Park (ITB BDC20-25-26, due April 15, 2026), while Sarasota County sought walk-behind compactors and the Macon Water Authority sought a hydraulic compactor paired with mini-excavator equipment (sealed bid PE33561NONST2026000000054, due April 14, 2026). No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or budget ranges are disclosed across these solicitations. Pre-bid conferences and physical bid submission are standard; electronic bidding is not accepted in the road construction contracts.
