UNSPSC 25101507: Light trucks or sport utility vehicles

UNSPSC 25101507 Light trucks or sport utility vehicles, a Commodity code, covers the purchase of new sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and specialty vehicles that state and local governments acquire for general fleet operations, law enforcement, specialized services, and departmental use. Recent opportunities show governments buying off-the-lot and factory-ordered vehicles across multiple manufacturers—Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, RAM, Toyota, Honda, Nissan—often with upfitting for police pursuit, emergency response, or utility functions. School districts, county fleet operations, municipal police and fire departments, state agencies, and special districts post regularly under this code, with issuing bodies spanning Maine, California, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Arizona, and Maryland. Representative recent procurements include Parkway School District (Missouri) requesting bids for two 2027 Ford Explorers (IFB, July 28, 2026 due date); the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services procuring one 2026 GMC Yukon 4WD with detailed specifications for the Department of Public Safety (RFQ, July 22, 2026 due); the City of Meriden, Connecticut requesting bids on seven Ford Interceptor Utility police vehicles with comprehensive up-fitting services (ITB, July 29, 2026 due); and San Bernardino County Fleet Management requesting bids on approximately 130 light and heavy-duty vehicles including SUVs, pickup trucks, and electric variants (ITB, August 3, 2026 due, with 5% local vendor preference for San Bernardino County principal place of business).

Activity is geographically broad and ongoing. California counties (Orange, San Bernardino, Chatham in Georgia) lead recent volume with multiple overlapping procurements for police vehicles, passenger vans, and administrative SUVs. Texas jurisdictions (San Antonio, Waco, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio) are active in hybrid and electric vehicle acquisition. Illinois agencies (Commerce Commission, Secretary of State, Emergency Management Agency) regularly solicit police and administrative SUVs with upfitting requirements. Tribal purchasing—the Gila River Indian Community and Catoosa County in Georgia—appears frequently with Native American preference provisions. Smaller municipalities and school districts bid individual or small-group vehicle purchases, while county fleet operations and state departments issue larger quantity procurement with cooperative purchasing structures. Indiana, Connecticut, Florida, and Maryland round out the geographic footprint. The code shows sustained activity across all issuing body types; police vehicle upfitting, electric and hybrid vehicle mandates, and local/small business preferences are recurring procurement drivers. This is a high-volume, competitive, and actively pursued Commodity category with no gaps in recent posting history.
