UNSPSC 24101646: Railway crane

A crane with track type roller equipped with hoist.

UNSPSC 24101646 Railway crane is a Commodity code identifying specialized heavy-lifting equipment and services that state and local governments procure for emergency response, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure work. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for both crane equipment rental with operators and annual inspection and certification services for overhead and mobile cranes used across water utilities, transportation authorities, waste management operations, and municipal departments. Issuing bodies span water districts, county transportation authorities, municipal utilities, county solid waste departments, and city public works offices, with repeat buyers including Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California and Collier County in Florida. The scope of work ranges from pre-negotiated emergency crane services with rapid response requirements to routine preventive maintenance contracts, annual ASTM/ANSI safety certifications, repair services, and hourly labor rates for on-call support across multiple equipment types—overhead bridge cranes, electric chain hoists, jib hoists, scissor lifts, boom trucks, and specialty material handlers.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary opportunities in Arizona and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Keys Energy Services (KEYS), the municipal electric utility serving Key West, Florida, issuing an RFP on March 6, 2026 for pre-negotiated crane services to support hurricane and disaster response, with sealed bids due electronically by 10:00 a.m. on March 20, 2026; the scope covers lifting and positioning electric poles weighing up to 25,000 pounds across the utility's service area, with multiple contracts anticipated for FEMA-compliant emergency response and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance.
