UNSPSC 24101502: Bulk transporters

UNSPSC 24101502 Bulk transporters is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement reflects a narrow scope: container transport services, particularly side-lifting and roll-off transportation of shipping containers carrying flood mitigation materials. The California Department of Water Resources has posted two related IFBs for container transport services (IFB #10219276 and IFB #10218190), both calling for contractors to provide specialized hydraulic sidelifter trailers and roll-off trucks capable of loading, unloading, and transporting 20-foot, 21-foot, and 40-foot containers staged at various DWR facilities statewide. These solicitations dominate recent activity under the code; a janitorial supplies ITB from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84) and a battery backup system RFQ from Nevada Department of Human Services appear to be misclassified under this code and do not reflect bulk transport services. State and local issuing bodies using this code include state departments (California DWR, Nevada Purchasing Division) and counties (Hillsborough County), though the recent activity is dominated by California's flood operations work.

The geographic spread reflects heavy concentration in California, where the DWR Division of Flood Operations has driven recent procurement activity. California DWR's two container transport IFBs (posted June 11, 2026 with a July 8, 2026 due date for IFB #10219276, and posted April 10, 2026 with May 8, 2026 due date for IFB #10218190) call for hourly rates for single-day and multi-day lifting and transport across all state locations, with an anticipated August 2026 start and three-year initial terms with options to renew for two additional one-year terms. Both California IFBs offer optional SB and DVBE preferences (five percent SB preference for certified small businesses; one to five percent optional DVBE incentive depending on participation level). Commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, workers' compensation, and $1 million motor vehicle liability are required. No guaranteed work volume is provided, and invoices are paid within 45 days of receipt by the DWR Accounting Office.
