UNSPSC 22101523: Wheel bulldozers

UNSPSC 22101523 Wheel bulldozers, a Commodity code, covers heavy earth-moving equipment that state and local governments procure for landfill operations, public works projects, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations under this code center on new crawler dozers and wheel dozers with integrated packages—blade systems, landfill-specific configurations, and emission-control engines meeting EPA Tier 4 Final standards. The City of Jackson, Mississippi issued an RFQ in June 2026 for one crawler dozer with a Semi-U blade, 16-cubic-yard minimum capacity, reinforced undercarriage, and integrated steering and drive system for solid waste and landfill operations, structured as unpriced technical prequalification followed by a reverse auction. The City of Wichita, Kansas solicited an RFB in May 2026 for one new crawler bulldozer with landfill package, specifying a 15-liter turbocharged diesel engine with 360 gross horsepower, 91,000 pounds operating weight, and 14.9-foot blade with 29-cubic-yard capacity, with delivery to the city landfill and mandatory operator and maintenance training. Issuing bodies include municipal public works and fleet divisions operating landfills and waste facilities, along with county fire protection districts procuring complementary equipment such as skid steer loaders and telescopic forklifts for operational support. Cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear—the Florida Sheriffs Association established a 24-month equipment contract framework (October 2026 through September 2028) for construction and grounds care equipment available to sheriffs' offices and other public entities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest: Mississippi (Jackson), Kansas (Wichita), Georgia (Butts County), and California (San Bernardino County Fire Protection District). The Jackson and Wichita opportunities closed or are closing in May–June 2026, with delivery timelines of 90 to 142 days post-award. Specifications emphasize warranty (minimum 60 months or 10,000 hours in Jackson; three years or 3,000 hours in Wichita), local service capability (50-mile radius in Jackson; 24-hour response in Wichita), and preventative maintenance agreements with defined service intervals. Pricing structures vary—Jackson's reverse auction charges a 4% transaction fee on the final bid price; Wichita accepts F.O.B. destination bids with separate freight line items. No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions appear in the recent opportunities, though Butts County and San Bernardino County encourage small, local, and minority-owned business participation through standard preference policies.
