UNSPSC 24101645: Crawler crane

Crawler type vehicle with crane device and driver compartment, and is used mainly for pulling up and transporting heavy objects on weak foundation.

UNSPSC 24101645 Crawler crane is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as operated equipment rental and maintenance services supporting emergency response, facility operations, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for crane operator services during disasters, routine inspections and certifications of existing fleet assets, and on-call rigging support for equipment placement and facility maintenance rather than acquisition of crawler cranes as capital equipment. The issuing bodies are mixed: municipal utilities, county transportation authorities, county water districts, and city public works departments. Keys Energy Services (KEYS), the municipal electric utility of Key West, Florida, represents a standout pattern—utilities procuring pre-negotiated crane services for emergency storm and hurricane response with FEMA compliance and prevailing wage requirements.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and California, with recent solicitations from KEYS (Key West), the Orange County Transportation Authority (Santa Ana and regional facilities in Orange County, California), Eastern Municipal Water District (Riverside County, California), and Collier County (Naples and countywide facilities). Representative opportunities include KEYS' RFP 0626 for emergency crane services for lifting electric poles up to 130 feet in length with response within 72 hours and a three-year base contract term (proposals due March 20, 2026); the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ 250144 for annual ASTM/ANSI safety inspections and certifications of fourteen aerial lift units at the Santa Ana Maintenance Base with a $12,000 two-year contract value (quotes due October 2, 2026); the Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP 3972 for quarterly inspections, annual certifications, and repairs of forty-eight overhead and mobile cranes at multiple Riverside County facilities (proposals due September 3, 2026); and Collier County's ITB 268626 for preventative maintenance, annual certifications, repairs, and 24/7 emergency response for thirty-two crane, hoist, and davit units across water reclamation and treatment facilities countywide with anticipated annual spending of approximately $50,000 and a three-year term (bids due August 31, 2026, pre-bid meeting August 11, 2026). The Collier County procurement carries grant funding and local vendor preference under Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance. Most contracts include prevailing wage compliance, commercial general liability insurance with million-dollar minimums, and workers' compensation requirements.
