UNSPSC 24101514: Platform truck

A type of manually operated materials transporting equipment comprised of a flat plate and handle mounted on casters that can be pushed or pulled.

UNSPSC 24101514 Platform truck, a Commodity code, covers the purchase of specialized utility and service trucks by state and local governments, including refrigerated food-service vehicles for school districts, heavy-duty bucket and aerial-lift trucks for state transportation agencies, service trucks for county operations, and dry freight bodies mounted on warehouse chassis for school logistics. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts, county governments, and state departments procuring these vehicles for specific operational needs—food service distribution, utility infrastructure maintenance, landfill operations, and warehouse cargo transport. The solicitations emphasize detailed technical specifications tailored to end-use, including engine type, lifting or refrigeration capacity, body construction, and integrated equipment systems. Evaluation criteria typically weight purchase price alongside vendor capability, references from similar customers, long-term cost, and compliance with state set-aside programs such as Texas HUB designations.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Jersey, Idaho, and Utah.
