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 and transport equipment that state and local governments purchase for warehouse, facility, and event operations. Recent solicitations show demand for hand trucks, collapsible wagons, folding tables and chairs, rolling luggage, AV carts, and specialized vehicle-mounted equipment such as dry boxes for warehouse chassis. The code attracts a diverse issuing-body base: cities (particularly Philadelphia), school districts (Salt Lake City School District), and facility management operations source under this category. Scope is narrow and equipment-driven; state and local buyers are not procuring services or custom fabrication but rather finished goods meeting published specifications or performance standards, often through micro-purchase RFQs or IFBs with tight response windows.

Activity is concentrated in the Mountain West and Mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Philadelphia issued two micro-purchase RFQs in June and July 2026 (solicitation numbers B2727419 and B2727546, both due within one week of posting) for AV carts and event transport supplies under the city's $43,000 micro-purchase ceiling. The Salt Lake City School District posted an IFB in February 2026 (WK2647DB and WK2647DBDRYBOXFORWAREHOUSECHASSIS, due March 6, 2026) for one dry box with integrated camera and lighting systems meeting Morgan brand specifications or equivalents. Philadelphia's solicitations are representative of the high-volume, low-dollar transactional work under the code; SLCSD's IFB illustrates heavier-duty equipment procurement with custom specifications and longer lead times. No incumbent vendors are named in the recent records, and no set-asides are disclosed.
