UNSPSC 22101804: Telescoping boom lift

UNSPSC 22101804 Telescoping boom lift is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as standard forklifts and aerial lifts for material handling, warehouse operations, and fleet maintenance — not the telescoping boom lifts the code name suggests. Recent solicitations show state departments, county governments, water authorities, transit systems, correctional facilities, school districts, and courts purchasing 3,000 to 15,500 pound capacity forklifts in diesel, propane, electric, and LPG configurations, along with scissor lifts, pallet jacks, and aerial work platforms for general warehouse and facility use. The mix of issuing bodies spans state procurement offices (Illinois Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Public Safety Training Center), county purchasing departments (Chatham County, Floyd County, Macon Water Authority, Colquitt County, Augusta-Richmond County), municipal fleet operations (City of St. Petersburg, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission), transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System), courts (Los Angeles Superior Court), correctional departments, and school districts. The code sees active solicitation across the Southeast and Midwest, with notable recent activity in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, California, and Florida.
