UNSPSC 22101538: Snow plow

A type of non motorized equipment that is used to make the snow removal from road easy by crushing snow and ice frozen on the road or surface of ground during winter. It is attached to mid or front portion of construction equipment, such as grader used in leveling the surface.

UNSPSC 22101538 Snow plow is a Commodity code that covers replacement cutting edges, blades, guards, and associated hardware for existing municipal snowplow fleets. State and local governments buy these components to maintain and support winter road maintenance operations, typically purchasing through seasonal or multi-year requirement contracts that allow ordering as needed throughout the winter season and off-season planning periods. The recent solicitation mix shows cities and regional transportation departments issuing IFBs and ITBs for standardized blade configurations—carbide cutting edges in specific dimensions, segmented systems from established OEM manufacturers like Western and Blockbuster, grade hardware, and bundled delivery packages. Issuing bodies include municipalities (Draper City, Utah; Town of Enfield, Connecticut), state departments of transportation (Utah Department of Transportation), and cooperative purchasing councils serving multiple member jurisdictions (Capitol Region Purchasing Council and Capitol Region Council Governments in Connecticut).

Recent activity concentrates in Utah and Connecticut. Draper City issued IFB #2617 for carbide snowplow cutting edges, segmented cutting-edge systems, OEM Western blades, plow guards, and associated hardware with bids due October 16, 2026 and award expected October 23, 2026; the contract offers a one-year initial term with options for up to four additional one-year renewals, with price adjustments capped at the lesser of annual CPI change or 3%. The Utah Department of Transportation issued IFB #UDOT270054JB for snowplow cover blades (three sizes: 3/4" × 6" × 48", 3/4" × 6" × 60", and 3/4" × 6" × 72") with bids due September 29, 2026 under a five-year requirements contract with no guaranteed minimum quantities and 60-day delivery requirements. Capitol Region Purchasing Council and Capitol Region Council Governments each issued separate ITBs for snowplow blades and supplies with availability required October 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, emphasizing total cost of ownership and ability to fulfill short-notice orders. The Town of Enfield's RFP #38879, due September 22, 2026, solicited seasonal snowplowing services (distinct from this code's hardware focus), reflecting broader winter-maintenance spending in the same jurisdictions.
