UNSPSC 24101513: Tugger

A motorized tractor like vehicle powered by gasoline, diesel, electric, natural gas, or LPG used to tow a flat trailer or trailers for the purpose of transporting material in and around factory and or dock and or warehouse areas.

UNSPSC 24101513 Tugger, a Commodity code, covers material-handling carts and trolleys that state and local governments procure for departmental, facilities, and events support — including hand trucks, computer carts, AV equipment carts, and drop deck trailers. The work is straightforward procurement of equipment units to specification, typically awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder under micro purchase or small-purchase procedures. Issuing bodies span major city procurement offices, state agencies, and municipal colleges; the City of Philadelphia has posted multiple solicitations under this code within the past three months, indicating repeat buying activity in mid-size to large urban jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across the Northeast and Midwest. The City of Philadelphia has solicited wire computer carts (B2727665, August 2026), AV carts in specific dimensions (B2727419, July 2026), and outreach-event supplies including hand trucks and collapsible wagons (B2727546, July 2026), all closed or closing within 60 days of posting. The State of Illinois procured a Magliner Gemini Jr. hand-truck accessory kit (27448DOITADMINB53281, July 2026). Middlesex College in New Jersey solicited a single AIR-TOW UT14-10 drop deck trailer (10969, September 2026). Procurement is fast-moving, with response windows typically one to two weeks; all recent Philadelphia micro purchases are electronic through PHLContracts, with firm pricing requirements and mandatory executed consent forms. Insurance minimums (general liability $500,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation at statutory limits, automobile liability $300,000 per occurrence) are standard, and Philadelphia offers optional LGBTQ diversity tracking forms on several solicitations.
