UNSPSC 22101610: Aggregate spreaders

UNSPSC 22101610 Aggregate spreaders, a Commodity code, encompasses salt spreader and de-icing equipment systems that state and local highway departments and transit authorities procure as part of winter maintenance truck buildups and fleet modernization. The work spans complete spreader units, spreader control systems with ground-speed sensing and joystick interfaces, hydraulic spreader components, spreader bodies in multiple configurations, and repair parts for existing spreader fleets. State departments of transportation dominate the recent solicitation activity, alongside county toll authorities and municipalities conducting pavement maintenance operations.

Recent opportunities reflect heavy procurement concentration in the upper Midwest and Texas. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued a multi-year optional-use contract (RFP 260000002057, amended June 18, 2026 with response due July 2) for a comprehensive 33-line-item winter maintenance truck buildup spanning salt spreaders with ground-speed control, combination dump-and-spreader bodies, hydraulic systems, pre-wet equipment, and auxiliary components, with delivery required within 120 calendar days to Lansing and firm pricing for 365 days; this contract is available to other states, local governments, MiDEAL members, and school districts through cooperative purchasing. The Harris County Toll Road Authority (ITB 250185, due June 15, 2026) sought four commercial snow and ice control spreaders with annual replacement on a one-year contract term beginning June 1, 2026, and six optional one-year renewals, requiring 14-day delivery and one-year warranty with a local account manager available 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST. The State of Illinois solicited spreader repair parts and accessories for Raiko, Monroe, Swenson, and Dickey-John equipment (JPMC IFB 26416CMSBOSS4B50785, due March 11, 2026) as a statewide supply contract, requiring 24-hour delivery of common parts and 72-hour delivery of specialty items on an F.O.B. destination basis to all Illinois governmental units. The Texas Department of Transportation has issued multiple recent solicitations for truck-mounted spreaders for distributing aggregates and ice control materials (TxDOT IFBs 601320000069526 and 601310000099721), though response dates and detailed specifications vary. Geographic activity extends across Michigan, Texas, Illinois, Utah, and California, with smaller opportunities in counties and cities managing local road and pavement programs. Prevailing wage compliance, Davis-Bacon wage standards, mandatory insurance coverage, performance and payment bonding, and local or disadvantaged-business enterprise subcontracting requirements are standard across these procurements.
