UNSPSC 24101515: Straddle carrier truck

Self propelled wheeled vehicle with gantry type structure that is designed to lift objects for transportation and is used in transporting large and heavy items.

UNSPSC 24101515 Straddle carrier truck (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local activity aligned with its nominal scope; the two posted opportunities under this code actually procure specialized heavy-duty truck bodies and components—a large bucket truck with aerial lift system and a dry freight box for warehouse chassis—rather than the straddle carriers the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring cab-and-chassis vehicles with utility bodies configured for specific operational missions, including aerial work platforms and enclosed freight transport, with approved manufacturers such as Kenworth, Freightliner, International, Altec, Versa Lift, TEREX HI-RANGER, and Morgan. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (via procurement offices) and school districts, each conducting their own independent procurements rather than consolidating demand through a single vehicle class.

New Jersey's Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation and other state using agencies, conducted a rebid IFB (solicitation 26DPP01299) for one large bucket truck with 37,000 lb. GVWR, utility body, and aerial lift system, posted April 23, 2026, with final quotes due May 29, 2026; this rebid followed unsuccessful prior solicitations in August 2022 and May 2025. Salt Lake City School District issued an IFB (WK2647DB / WK2647DBDRYBOXFORWAREHOUSECHASSIS) for one dry box for warehouse chassis meeting Morgan specifications with HD camera systems and Maxon lift gate, posted February 13, 2026, with bids due March 6, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in the Mountain West and Mid-Atlantic regions, with no indication of broader national procurement momentum under this code. The code's sparse recent activity and the mismatch between nominal scope and actual solicitations suggest limited opportunity volume and potential misclassification within state and local procurement systems.
