UNSPSC 22101801: Manlift or personnel lift

UNSPSC 22101801 Manlift or personnel lift (Commodity) represents truck-mounted aerial devices and bucket trucks that state and local governments procure for utility maintenance, tree trimming, sign installation, and electrical work at height. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying complete truck-mounted systems—typically 40- to 52-foot telescoping booms with articulating lower arms, utility bodies, hydraulic generators, cranes with outriggers, and associated training and safety equipment. The work spans new equipment procurement and rebids for replacement units. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, state purchasing offices, counties, and independent school districts. Texas Department of Transportation appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple solicitations for truck bodies and aerial devices within the past two months.

Activity concentrates in Texas and New Jersey based on recent postings. The Texas Department of Transportation issued two separate solicitations for truck-mounted telescoping aerial devices with articulating lower booms in September and October 2026 (Solicitation 601440000053988, response due September 9, 2026; Solicitation 601440000053880, response due October 23, 2026), with the September procurement spanning 17 total aerial device units across 40-foot and 52-foot configurations under an emergency purchase authority, an estimated contract value exceeding $1 million, and F.O.B. destination pricing with all freight prepaid. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury issued a rebid procurement (26DPP01299) for a single large bucket truck with 37,000 lb. GVWR cab and chassis and utility body with aerial lift system, with a May 29, 2026 response deadline; this rebid followed unsuccessful solicitations in August 2022 and May 2025. Both TxDOT and New Jersey solicitations specify approved manufacturers and allow equivalent product proposals, require firm, fixed pricing across multiple line items covering equipment, installation, and technical support, and mandate comprehensive insurance and bonding.
