UNSPSC 22101608: Cold planers

UNSPSC 22101608 Cold planers is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, appears to encompass heavy roadway construction and rehabilitation equipment used in pavement surface preparation and recycling operations. The code shows minimal recent direct solicitation activity under its nominal scope; the two most recent opportunities in the available block are tagged to this code but represent law enforcement equipment procurement and comprehensive pavement rehabilitation contracting, neither of which involves the purchase or lease of cold planing machinery specifically. State and local governments do procure heavy equipment for transportation projects, but the recent record shows these solicitations are framed as full-scope general contracting (labor, materials, and equipment bundled) rather than equipment-only or equipment-rental purchases.

Geographic activity is limited in the recent record. Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB on April 29, 2026 (due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, which includes partial depth recycling and hot mix asphalt overlay among its scope—work that may involve cold planers—but the solicitation seeks an integrated pavement contractor, not equipment supply or rental separately. A Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) issued an RFP on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment serving multi-state participating entities, which is unrelated to road construction. The code shows little relevant recent state and local contracting activity tied directly to cold planer procurement or rental.
