UNSPSC 24102301: Bar code guided automatic guided vehicle

A type of Automatic Guided Vehicle, or AGV consisting of a computer controlled wheel based load carrier that runs on the plant floor in a defined path controlled by bar codes.

UNSPSC 24102301 Bar code guided automatic guided vehicle is a Commodity code with minimal recent relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—barcode-guided autonomous material-handling systems—does not align with the solicitations posted under it. State and local procurement systems show the code applied to multiple traffic signal and roadway infrastructure projects, recreation supplies, office supplies, and conveyor system equipment, none of which involve automated guided vehicles or barcode-tracking systems. The mismatch suggests either classification error in how opportunities are tagged or use of the code as a catch-all that has drifted from its core definition.

Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span Texas (Brownsville, Fort Worth, Harris County, Round Rock, Richardson, Katy), Florida (Broward County, Pasco County), Colorado (Boulder County), Kansas (Olathe), Georgia (Atlanta), New Jersey (Bergen County), Oklahoma, Mississippi (DeSoto County Schools), and the District of Columbia. The actual work being solicited falls into two unrelated categories: traffic signal installation, modernization, and maintenance (dominant), and miscellaneous supplies or equipment (office supplies, recreation supplies, office supplies, conveyor systems). Traffic signal work dominates the recent postings—the City of Brownsville issued three separate IFBs in May–June 2026 for 12th Street, International Boulevard, and Communication Development traffic signal projects; the City of Fort Worth solicited multiple roadway and traffic signal construction projects; Harris County sought traffic signal installation along Fry Road; and Broward County and Detroit solicited traffic signal maintenance services. Bergen County posted a 12-month traffic signal repair parts contract under cooperative purchasing framework (NJCPA CK04), and the City of Richardson issued an RFI for connected vehicle roadside units and autonomous shuttle systems. Boulder County sought traffic signal cabinet supply and delivery; the City of Olathe solicited signal equipment and materials for maintenance; and Harris County requested professional traffic engineering services. No opportunities in the recent block actually involve barcode-guided vehicles or autonomous material handling. The code shows no current decision-relevance for automated-vehicle vendors and warrants close classification review by procurement offices using it.
