UNSPSC 24101601: Elevators

UNSPSC 24101601 Elevators (Commodity) covers passenger and freight elevator procurement, installation, maintenance, repair, modernization, and inspection services that state and local governments buy across municipal facilities, detention centers, transit hubs, parking structures, schools, universities, and specialized institutions. Recent solicitations frame the work in concrete operational terms: removal and installation of new hydraulic passenger elevators in occupied two-story county office buildings (Polk County, Georgia); turnkey modernization of multi-unit elevator banks in convention centers and city halls (Georgia World Congress Center, Tucson); replacement of freight elevators in public libraries (San Antonio); and comprehensive preventive maintenance, emergency repair, and certification testing for elevator fleets ranging from five to sixty-seven units across dispersed municipal properties (Orange County, California; Henry County, Georgia; City of Tucson). The issuing-body mix spans county governments, cities, transit and parking authorities, special authorities (convention centers), universities, and school districts, with repeat buyers including Georgia jurisdictions (Polk County, Henry County, Georgia World Congress Center Authority) and Arizona cities (Tucson, Phoenix).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, California, and Arizona, with recent solicitations also posted in Florida (Broward County market assessment for industrial gantry-crane elevators), Maryland (Montgomery County Public Schools modernization; Towson University inspection services), Rhode Island (statewide Master Price Agreement open enrollment), and Texas (Arlington, Fort Worth, San Antonio). Representative opportunities include Polk County Government's sealed-bid turnkey replacement of two hydraulic elevators due October 21, 2026 (IFB); Henry County Government's RFP for annual maintenance and repairs of eighteen elevators across multiple locations due October 6, 2026; Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for modernization of seventeen escalators due August 27, 2026; County of Orange, California IFB for Kone elevator maintenance and repair with emergency entrapment response requirements due August 4, 2026; State of Rhode Island open-enrollment Master Price Agreement (MPA-534) for statewide elevator, escalator, and vertical-transportation maintenance and repair with enrollment through August 1, 2028; and Towson University's RFP for third-party qualified elevator inspection services (annual, five-year, and fire-service testing) due June 29, 2026. Maintenance contracts typically require Class 1 certified elevator mechanics, 24/7 emergency response capability within thirty minutes to one hour, prevailing wage compliance in some jurisdictions, performance and payment bonds, and general liability insurance of $1 to $2 million per occurrence. Modernization and new-installation procurements emphasize ASME A17.1 and A17.2 code compliance, design-build or turnkey service delivery, extended warranty periods, and training for end-user personnel.
