UNSPSC 24101608: Winches

UNSPSC 24101608 Winches (Commodity) covers powered lifting and hoisting equipment, including electric and hydraulic winches integrated into cranes, trailers, and specialized material-handling systems that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, equipment transport, and infrastructure operations. The recent opportunities reflect a mix of standalone winch acquisitions and winches as components within larger equipment systems; state and local buyers seek units with specified load ratings, safety compliance, and delivery within fixed timeframes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, California state procurement), county governments (Collier County, Florida), and special-purpose districts, with work ranging from individual winch procurement to multi-unit trailer packages containing optional hydraulic and electric winch components.

Texas and California dominate recent activity under this code. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB on June 29, 2026 (due July 14, 2026) for one DC electric-powered crane with a 12-Volt DC hoist winch motor, 2,000 lbs minimum single-line pull capacity, for delivery to AE Woods Fish Hatchery in San Marcos before August 31, 2026, with Texas bidder preference and service-disabled veteran-owned business preferences available. The State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB on April 16, 2026 (responses due May 14, 2026) for 26 heavy-duty trailers across six configurations with optional electric and hydraulic winches, mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plan (1 percent utilization goal), and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, with the Texas Department of Transportation identified as a major customer. California issued an RFB on May 10, 2026 (due June 2, 2026) for a Man Rider Winch (item 632097) with prevailing wage compliance required. Collier County, Florida sought crane system modifications in May 2026 involving relocation of crane angle stops and structural alterations to accommodate crane access, not a direct winch procurement. The City of West Sacramento issued an RFP on March 12, 2026 for structural assessment and design services for a 6,000 to 12,000-pound rooftop crane, reflecting upstream feasibility work rather than equipment acquisition. No recent opportunities under this code appear in Florida or California school district procurement.
