UNSPSC 22101800: Aerial lifts

UNSPSC 22101800 Aerial lifts, a Class code, covers the purchase and maintenance of truck-mounted and self-propelled aerial work platforms, boom lifts, and bucket trucks used by state and local agencies for line clearance, tree trimming, underbridge inspection, forestry operations, and facility maintenance. State and local governments buy complete aerial lift systems—including boom lifts, bucket trucks, and specialized platforms—as well as replacement components and repair services. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, forestry services, and public works, together with city and county government departments. Recent solicitations show active procurement across Texas, Florida, California, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey, with state transportation and public works agencies representing the bulk of demand. The Texas Department of Transportation has posted multiple solicitations for truck-mounted telescoping aerial devices with articulating booms, including an emergency purchase of 17 aerial device units across 40-foot and 52-foot configurations along with associated crane systems and training materials under Solicitation 601440000053988 (response due September 9, 2026, estimated value exceeding $1 million) and a follow-on solicitation under Number 601440000053880 (response due October 23, 2026). The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service issued an ITB for one new Genie S-85 HF Telescopic Boom Lift with 4WD capability, platform capacities of 1,000 lbs. restricted and 500 lbs. unrestricted, and delivery to its Central Shop in Lake City, Florida no later than June 30, 2027 (bids due September 28, 2026), with a 5% preference applied to vendors located within Florida.

Geographic distribution reflects concentrated activity in Texas and Florida, with additional procurement evident in California, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Maryland. The California Department of Transportation, Division of Equipment, solicited one Personnel Hoist for underbridge inspection operations per Specification 05382-036-261 (bids due June 8, 2026). The Minnesota Department of Transportation requested bids to replace one Man Lift Step Over bucket with a Step Through Bucket equipped with a door installed on an Altec AT30 aerial lift (bids due July 23, 2026). The City of Springfield, Massachusetts Office of Procurement, on behalf of its Department of Public Works, posted an RFQ for Lift-A-Loft Aerial Equipment Parts and Service (Bid 27-055) with an estimated annual contract value not to exceed $150,000, supporting a twenty percent minority and women participation goal (bids due November 3, 2026). The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury is conducting a rebid for a single large bucket truck with a 37,000 lb. GVWR cab and chassis equipped with utility body and aerial lift system, accepting proposals from Altec, Versa Lift, and TEREX HI-RANGER vendors among equivalent manufacturers (quote due May 29, 2026). Wicomico County, Maryland posted two separate RFQs for construction inspection and management services tied to FEMA-funded residential elevation projects, though these appear miscategorized under the aerial lifts code and do not reflect typical aerial lift procurement.
