UNSPSC 25101500: Passenger motor vehicles

UNSPSC 25101500 Passenger motor vehicles is a Class code that encompasses state and local procurement of new and used passenger cars, SUVs, vans, and specialty-configured vehicles for administrative, public safety, and operational fleet use. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying light-duty sedans and SUVs for general administrative purposes, full-size sport utility vehicles for public safety and airport operations, passenger vans and minivans for school and transit use, electric and hybrid vehicles for fleet modernization, and specialized conversions for accessibility. A small but steady stream of solicitations targets replacement of police pursuit vehicles (Chevrolet Tahoe PPV, Ford Police Utility) and dedicated service vehicles such as school buses, transit buses, and motorcoaches for student transportation and institutional travel.

Issuing bodies span state transportation departments and education agencies, county governments and municipal departments, independent school districts, state colleges and universities, and special-purpose authorities including airport commissions and transit districts. The County of Orange in California and the State of Connecticut Department of Aging and Disability Services appear as repeat buyers; Orange County has issued multiple vehicle purchase and upfitting RFQs and ITBs in recent months, and Connecticut has conducted a series of requests for vehicle modification quotations for persons with disabilities. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County, San Bernardino County, Superior Court County of Tehama), Texas (San Antonio, Katy, Northside ISD), Connecticut (multiple county locations), and Florida (Hillsborough County, Marion County), with additional activity across Illinois, Oregon, Massachusetts, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Utah, and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the San Bernardino County Fleet Management Department's ITB for approximately 130 light-duty and heavy-duty 2027 model year vehicles with electric, plug-in hybrid, and gasoline options (bids due August 3, 2026), Rhode Island College's RFP for on-campus shuttle bus services covering one 14-passenger ADA-compliant vehicle with three-year contract term starting August 31, 2026 (proposals due August 7, 2026), the City of San Antonio's FY26 Light & Medium-Duty Vehicles IFB for approximately 91 units across multiple classes with pre-bid conference on June 30, 2026 (bids due July 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Transportation's ITB for seven electrically powered Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup trucks with delivery to Salem by May 14, 2026 closing—the latter resulted in award to Dick Hannah Chevrolet at $450,164.47 total ($64,309.21 per unit). Additional activity includes vehicle modification RFQs from Connecticut for Chrysler Pacifica conversions for persons with disabilities, specialty vehicle conversions from Orange County Public Works, and school bus transportation service contracts from multiple districts and municipalities across the country.
