UNSPSC 22101718: Grader control systems

UNSPSC 22101718 Grader control systems is a Commodity code that encompasses motor grader acquisitions, leases, and related equipment procurement by state and local road and public works departments. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying new and used motor graders for road maintenance and construction, with specifications addressing engine power, moldboard configuration, hydraulic systems, cab features, transmission type, and ancillary attachments such as scarifiers and slopers. The issuing bodies include county boards of supervisors, county road departments, sheriffs' associations, and municipal public works agencies. The Florida Sheriffs Association is establishing a 24-month equipment procurement contract through IFB FSA26-EQU24.0 (due September 2, 2026) that encompasses construction equipment alongside grounds care and material handling equipment; multiple Georgia counties—Seminole, Colquitt, and Elbert—have posted independent sealed-bid solicitations for motor graders between May and July 2026; and Neshoba County, Mississippi posted two separate bids for used 2021-model-year motor graders (due August 17 and September 8, 2026). The Illinois Department of Central Management Services is pursuing a joint purchase master contract (IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918, due August 12, 2026) that includes grader-mounted rotary milling attachments and related asphalt equipment lines alongside motor graders, subject to a 4% Business Enterprise Program participation goal.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia and Mississippi—and the Midwest, with secondary presence in Florida and California. Georgia counties dominate the solicitation volume, with Colquitt County requesting two new units with slopers (bids due June 30, 2026), Seminole County requesting one new unit (bids due July 14, 2026), and Elbert County seeking a 36-month lease arrangement (bids due June 4, 2026). Neshoba County, Mississippi issued back-to-back sealed bids for used motor graders meeting 2021-model-year minimums, with detailed warranty and buyback provisions (August 17 and September 8, 2026 deadlines). The Illinois JPMC represents a multi-year indefinite-quantity contract (five-year initial term, ten-year maximum, commencing March 1, 2027) with firm pricing discounts off Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price and a minimum $500 order threshold. No recent solicitations disclosed set-aside restrictions or incumbent contractor information; most Georgia and Mississippi procurements were unadorned sealed-bid invitations with straightforward equipment specifications and competitive award to the lowest responsive bidder.
