UNSPSC 22101606: Chip Spreaders

UNSPSC 22101606 Chip Spreaders is a Commodity code covering truck-mounted and trailer-mounted salt and aggregate spreading equipment that state and local governments procure for winter road maintenance and de-icing operations. The recent solicitations show state departments of transportation and county toll authorities buying ground speed-controlled spreader systems, combination dump-and-spreader bodies, pre-wet systems, and replacement spreader units fitted to existing fleet platforms. The issuing bodies are primarily state transportation departments and county toll authorities managing year-round road maintenance contracts; Michigan Department of Transportation and Texas Department of Transportation appear as repeat buyers, along with Harris County Toll Road Authority and Illinois through its joint purchase master contract framework.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan, Texas, and Illinois. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued RFP 260000002057 for winter maintenance truck buildup components due July 2, 2026, encompassing 33 line items including ground speed-controlled salt spreader systems, combination dump and spreader bodies (11-foot and 14-foot), pre-wet systems, and related hydraulic assemblies with five-year contract terms and optional one-year renewals, available to other states and MiDEAL members. Harris County Toll Road Authority solicited ITB 250185 for sprayer and spreader equipment replacement due June 15, 2026, requiring three trailer-mounted 500-gallon sprayers and four commercial snow and ice control spreaders with annual rotating replacement on a one-year initial term plus six optional one-year renewals. The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services issued a Joint Purchase Master Contract IFB for snow and ice control equipment repair parts and accessories covering Raiko, Monroe, Swenson, and Dickey-John product lines, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2030 with up to ten years total including renewals. Texas Department of Transportation posted solicitations for cross conveyor spreaders through the Bonfire system in multiple districts (Austin and Wichita Falls) specifying truck-mounted spreader units with minimum capacity and engine requirements. The code sees steady demand across state highway agencies and county road maintenance operations, with multi-year framework contracts and annual replacement cycles supporting ongoing procurement activity.
