UNSPSC 23153019: Lifter plate

UNSPSC 23153019 Lifter plate (Commodity) covers the procurement of material-handling lift equipment—scissor lifts, dock lifts, and mobile column lifts—that state and local governments acquire for operational use across correctional facilities, juvenile justice departments, and transit authorities. The work involves supply and delivery of factory-standard lift equipment meeting specified capacity and certification requirements, often including installation, setup, training, and warranty support. Issuing bodies span correctional departments, juvenile justice agencies, and transit authorities, with recent activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia.

Recent opportunities show Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting two scissor lifts via IFB IW252869 with responses due July 3, 2026; Texas Juvenile Justice Department issuing an IFB for a 560/48 capacity dock lift via project FY26_BWD_dock lift with bids due April 21, 2026; and Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, procuring a Rotary MCHM419 Flex Max 75,200 lb. mobile column lift for its transit department via ITB PE72155NONST2026000000184 with bids due May 27, 2026. The Augusta procurement explicitly applies the Local Vendor Preference program (within 10 percent or $10,000 of the lowest non-local bidder) and M/WBE requirements, with an anticipated contract value at or below $100,000. Pre-bid activity in Augusta includes an optional conference May 11, 2026 and site visit opportunity, with written questions due May 13, 2026. The sourcing pattern reflects periodic, discrete purchases rather than ongoing volume demand, with individual jurisdictions typically acquiring one or two units per solicitation.
