UNSPSC 24101600: Lifting equipment and accessories

UNSPSC 24101600 Lifting equipment and accessories is a Class code covering the purchase, maintenance, repair, and modernization of powered and manual lifting equipment used across state and local operations. State and local governments buy scissorlifts, dock lifts, mobile column lifts, bridge cranes, forklifts, elevators, escalators, stairlifts, wheelchair lifts, and associated hoisting equipment under this code, along with the maintenance, inspection, and repair services those assets require. Work ranges from one-time equipment procurement and installation to ongoing preventive maintenance contracts spanning multiple years and sites. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies including state departments (criminal justice, transportation, juvenile justice), municipalities and municipal utilities (Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, City of Somerville, Town of Westborough, Town of North Attleborough, Augusta-Richmond County), state procurement offices establishing cooperative purchasing master price agreements, school districts and universities, and transit authorities. Texas state agencies (TDCJ, TJJD) and Massachusetts institutions (Bristol Community College, Salem State University, Berlin-Boylston Regional Schools District, North Attleborough High School) appear as repeat buyers in recent postings. Service providers dominate the recent flow: elevator maintenance contractors, licensed elevator mechanics, forklift technicians, and specialized hoisting-equipment repair vendors are more frequently solicited than equipment manufacturers.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Georgia, and Utah. The most active recent postings include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's scissorlifts IFB (IW252869, due July 3, 2026), Bristol Community College's RFP for elevator maintenance across four campuses (BD261381BCC01BCCFR129567, due June 8, 2026), the Rhode Island Division of Purchases' open-enrollment Master Price Agreements for lift-truck and hoisting-equipment repair (OEV26006605, closing June 2, 2026) and elevator service (MPA-534, due June 8, 2026), Salem State University's five-year RFP for elevator services (SSU 2026-08, due April 29, 2026), the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission's bridge-crane replacement IFB (26-28, due May 7, 2026), and Education Service Center Region 10's statewide cooperative procurement for elevator, escalator, and moving-walkway equipment and services (R101188, due April 17, 2026). The Berlin-Boylston schools' elevator modernization (BD251127BBRSDBBRSD127966, due May 8, 2026) and the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission's three-site forklift maintenance contract (Bid 26-30, due March 23, 2026) illustrate the breadth of issuing bodies and asset types. Set-asides and prevailing-wage requirements appear in several recent opportunities, particularly the Rhode Island MPAs and Massachusetts school and municipal procurements.
