UNSPSC 22101526: Track excavators

UNSPSC 22101526 Track excavators is a Commodity code covering excavation equipment that state and local governments procure for road maintenance, site development, and infrastructure repair work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring tracked excavators across a range of sizes and configurations—from mini compact units (10,000–20,000 lbs) to long-reach models (96,000 lbs)—with specialized attachments for ditch cleaning, grading, and vegetation removal. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county boards of supervisors, municipal public works departments, special districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Illinois Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Transportation, Harrison County Board of Supervisors (Mississippi), City of Ringgold (Georgia), Kansas Turnpike Authority, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission appear as recent procurers. Work scopes range from routine equipment acquisition (single-unit purchases with standard specifications) to fleet modernization and specialized environmental restoration projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Mississippi, Georgia, Kansas, and Florida, with secondary activity in California. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Transportation's IFB B53945 for one long-reach tracked excavator (96,000 lbs) with 34-foot-9-inch boom and ditch-cleaning capabilities, bids due October 14, 2026; the Texas Comptroller procuring on behalf of TxDOT's IFB 304T-26-6014452832 for two tracked telescoping boom excavators (Gradall Model XL3200 V or equivalent), bids due August 20, 2026; Harrison County Board of Supervisors' sealed-bid solicitation for one new hydraulic excavator, bids due October 13, 2026; and the City of Ocean Springs, Mississippi's two-phase prequalification and reverse-auction procurement for one 5-ton compact excavator and one 6-ton compact excavator with hydraulic attachments, technical proposals due August 11, 2026. The market shows active bidding competition with responses to RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs across multiple states; notice that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's solicitation (ITB16775) involves floating excavator rental for vegetation removal on a per-acre basis across 1,000 acres, marking a service-delivery variant within the equipment class. Set-asides and preferences appear sporadically—Illinois Business Preference and Domestic Product Preference in the IDOT IFB, and a 5% small-business preference in California Department of Parks and Recreation's separate procurement—but most solicitations contain no explicit set-asides.
