UNSPSC 25101502: Busses

UNSPSC 25101502 Busses is a Commodity code covering the procurement of buses and related vehicle services by state and local transit authorities, colleges, school districts, and specialized transportation providers. State and local agencies are actively soliciting under this code for campus shuttles, charter transportation, school bus services, paratransit vehicles, touring coaches, and specialized transit fleet replacements. Recent opportunities range from single-vehicle acquisitions to multi-unit fleet procurements, with scope varying from demand-response paratransit for elderly and disabled passengers to athletic team transportation, academic campus circulation, and fixed-route public transit operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of education, county school districts, municipal transit authorities, regional transportation authorities, state colleges and universities, and county community college systems. The code sees substantial activity across multiple states and contract types—IFBs for new and used vehicles, RFPs for management and operations services bundled with fleet requirements, and RFIs for emerging zero-emission and automated transit solutions.

Geographic activity spans Rhode Island (Rhode Island College RFP27006822, on-campus shuttle due August 7, 2026), Texas (Collin County Community College District FY2024ITB026 charter bus due May 14, 2024; City of Arlington RFP26-0185 paratransit vehicles due May 28, 2026), Maryland (Howard County Board of Education IFB 118.26.B1 athletics transportation due June 29, 2026; State of Maryland handicapped bus IFB BPM056490 due June 25, 2026), Florida (Jacksonville Transportation Authority leading statewide automated transit vehicle procurement P-24-019 and P26009), Arizona (City of Tempe RFI on zero-emission buses due May 19, 2026), Utah (Snow College new and used motorcoach purchases due April 11–14, 2026; Salt Lake City School District electric school buses due April 2, 2026), and New York (County of Rockland transit operations RFP-RC-2026-011 due April 9, 2026). Recent opportunities also include South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's RFI for bi-level commuter rail coach and cab cars (due March 16, 2026) and Anne Arundel County Public Schools school bus procurement (due April 16, 2026). Activity reflects modernization toward electric and zero-emission fleets, expansion of specialized services for disabled and elderly passengers, and competitive procurement of both vehicles and transit operations management across diverse jurisdictions and service models.
