UNSPSC 22101602: Ramming equipment

UNSPSC 22101602 Ramming equipment, a Commodity code, covers soil and aggregate compaction equipment procured by state and local jurisdictions for infrastructure and utility projects. State and local governments under this code are buying walk-behind plate compactors, small excavators with integrated compaction attachments, and related vibratory compaction machinery used in roadway rehabilitation, bridge construction, water authority operations, and site preparation work. The buying base spans county transportation departments, county utilities, water authorities, and public works agencies across multiple states. Recent solicitations show both turnkey equipment purchases (units with specified technical performance) and equipment supply as part of larger infrastructure contracts where compaction is one task among many—partial depth recycling, paving overlay, curb and gutter installation, and drainage system work.

Activity concentrates in California and Florida, with secondary presence in Georgia. Santa Clara County, California has posted at least three major roadway and bridge infrastructure projects in the period February through May 2026 that include compaction work, though the specific ramming-equipment code appears to tag only the equipment-supply component of these larger efforts. Sarasota County, Florida issued a Quick Quote (QQ) solicitation on April 3, 2026 (due April 1, 2026) for two walk-behind reversible plate compactors with a maximum bid cap of $50,000, specifying Honda GX200 or equivalent gasoline engines, 300–350-pound operating weight, and minimum 6,000 pounds centrifugal force with 5,400 vibrations per minute; delivery was required within 14 days of purchase order to 4860 17th Street, Sarasota, Florida 34235. The Macon Water Authority in Bibb County, Georgia issued a sealed-bid solicitation (PE33561NONST2026000000054, due April 14, 2026) for one mini excavator (CX60C with Yanmar engine, 12,940 pounds operating weight, zero tail-swing) and two hydraulic compactors (Steelwrist S40, 419 pounds each, 5,620 vibration force), with bids evaluated on price, reputation, financial responsibility, and experience. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions appear in recent solicitations under the code.
