UNSPSC 24101649: Winch crane

A device used to move cargo vertically up and down or horizontally by installing boom on vertical post and by using rotation of boom and wire rope of its frontal end, and has support structure on the lower portion that supports the post.

UNSPSC 24101649 Winch crane (Commodity) covers on-call crane and rigging services—including operated cranes for lifting, hoisting, and placement of equipment and structural elements—that state and local governments procure for emergency response, facility maintenance, capital projects, and specialized lift operations. Recent solicitations show municipal utilities, transportation authorities, and county governments soliciting both emergency-response crane pools and routine maintenance and certification contracts for overhead, mobile, and aerial lift equipment across multiple facilities. Keys Energy Services, the municipal electric utility in Key West, Florida, issued an RFP in March 2026 for pre-negotiated crane services to support hurricane response and emergency operations, seeking qualified firms capable of lifting electric poles weighing up to 25,000 pounds across the utility's service territory, with pricing based on hourly rates, mobilization fees, and extended-rental discounts; the RFP anticipates multiple contract awards to establish a FEMA-compliant vendor pool under a three-year base term plus two optional one-year renewals. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California issued an RFQ in October 2026 for annual ASTM/ANSI-standard safety inspections and certification of fourteen aerial lift and scissor-lift units at its Santa Ana maintenance base, valued at $12,000 over two years and requiring SNT-TC-1A Level II certified technicians.

The code sees activity across utilities, transit authorities, county governments, and municipal departments in Florida, California, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Keys Energy Services (Florida), Eastern Municipal Water District (California), City of Tucson (Arizona), Collier County Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Division (Florida), and OCTA (California) have each posted maintenance and inspection contracts for overhead cranes and hoists within the past four months. Collier County issued an ITB in July 2026 for preventative maintenance, annual certifications, and emergency repair of 32 crane and hoist units across water reclamation and treatment facilities county-wide, with an anticipated annual spend of $50,000 and a three-year term plus two optional one-year renewals, offering local vendor preference under county ordinance for firms with a physical business address in Collier County. OCTA also solicited operated crane and rigging services in June 2026 under RFQ 250039 at an estimated value of $50,000 for one year, covering on-call hoisting and rigging support across nine OCTA facilities in Orange County, California, requiring 24/7 availability and two-hour emergency response. The geographic distribution emphasizes Florida and California, with secondary activity in Arizona and Wisconsin.
