UNSPSC 24101632: Side shifts

UNSPSC 24101632 Side shifts is a Commodity code representing equipment attachments and components used in materials-handling and lifting operations. State and local governments procure side shifts as part of crane fleet management, equipment maintenance, and specialized rigging support — though the recent opportunities tagged under this code show significant scope divergence, with most solicitations actually addressing full crane services, inspections, certifications, and repairs rather than the side-shift component itself. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include municipal utilities, county transportation authorities, water districts, county departments, and cities. Keys Energy Services (municipal utility, Key West, Florida) issued an RFP in March 2026 for pre-negotiated crane services during emergency operations including hurricane response, seeking multiple vendors capable of lifting electric poles up to 25,000 pounds and 130 feet in length. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) posted two separate opportunities in 2026: an RFQ in October for annual ASTM/ANSI-standard safety inspections and certifications of fourteen aerial lift units at $12,000 for a two-year term, and an earlier RFQ in June for on-call operated crane and rigging services across nine OCTA facilities at an estimated $50,000 annually with 24/7 availability and two-hour emergency response requirements. The City of Tucson posted an RFQ in August 2026 for annual preventive maintenance and repair of overhead cranes and hoists across fourteen city locations (thirty-three units) not to exceed $100,000. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITB in July 2026 for preventive maintenance, annual certifications, and emergency repair of thirty-two crane and hoist units county-wide, anticipating approximately $50,000 in annual spending, with grant funding and local vendor preference available under Collier County Procurement Ordinance Section Sixteen.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, California, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Georgia. The source contains multiple opportunities unrelated to side shifts themselves — bridge construction, waste-to-energy facility procurement, and pedestrian trail work — that appear tagged to this code in error. Among crane-specific solicitations, the most decision-relevant current opportunities are the Keys Energy emergency crane services RFP (response deadline March 20, 2026, base three-year term with two optional one-year renewals, FEMA-compliant work), Collier County's ITB for preventive maintenance and repair (three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, pre-bid meeting scheduled August 11, 2026, bids due August 31, 2026), and OCTA's dual RFQs for annual inspections and on-call rigging support. The Collier County and Tucson solicitations explicitly invite multiple award structures, and several opportunities reference prevailing wage and FEMA reimbursement eligibility or requirements. Insurance, certifications (NCCCO, ASTM/ANSI Level II or equivalent), and compliance with federal conditions (Davis-Bacon Act, Build America Buy America Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act) appear consistently across recent procurements targeting genuine crane services.
