UNSPSC 22101531: Snow blowers

UNSPSC 22101531 Snow blowers is a Commodity code that captures equipment purchases for winter road and airfield maintenance operations across state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying snowblowers for both highway safety operations and specialized airport airfield clearing, along with associated maintenance, spare parts, training, and extended warranty support. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) purchased eight Honda electric-start snowblowers with covers, battery tenders, and spare parts for the Truckee Border Protection Station; the City of Atlanta's Department of Aviation is procuring Multi-Tasking Equipment (MTE) units with integrated snow blower, plow, and de-icing systems for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a phased procurement plan totaling 18 vehicles over six years, plus 10-year extended warranty coverage, preventative maintenance, technician support during winter events, and operator and technician training. Issuing bodies include state agriculture departments and city aviation authorities; the CDFA opportunity was restricted to certified Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises under California Government Code Section 14838.5.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia, with the CDFA RFQ for snowblowers and accessories due June 4, 2026, and the City of Atlanta's prequalification deadline for airport winter weather equipment maintenance and training services set for May 21, 2026. The CDFA procurement evaluates bids solely on lowest total proposed price on an "All or None" basis with prepaid freight and handling incorporated into unit pricing; the City of Atlanta's multi-step sealed bid process will assess prequalification based on demonstrated experience with airport winter weather equipment in active operational environments, compliance with SAE and FAA standards, equipment reliability, emergency repair responsiveness, and training delivery capability. Neither solicitation discloses a specific budget or award value in the available documentation.
