UNSPSC 25101509: Electrically powered vehicle

Automobile powered by electricity, or a combination of electricity and alternate fuel source.

UNSPSC 25101509 Electrically powered vehicle is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase of fully electric and hybrid-electric vehicles across state and local fleets. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying electric sport utility vehicles for district operations, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure and charging systems for fleet facilities, and specialized upfit services for electrified or hybrid platforms. While the code's name signals pure-electric acquisition, the recent record includes a mixed portfolio: Twin Rivers Unified School District requested bids on two new fully electric SUVs under RFB P27-001 (due October 2, 2026); the State of California Department of General Services, on behalf of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, solicited installation of 20 EVSE units (2 single-port and 18 dual-port Level 2 chargers) serving 37 fleet parking spaces at Valley State Prison and VSP Correctional Career Management in Chowchilla under sealed-bid procurement 26-332434 (due October 7, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid inspection September 22, 2026); and the Maryland Environmental Service requested bids for electric power distribution system upgrades and EV charging stations at Janes Island State Park (RFB 1262125R, due August 7, 2026, with 15% MBE participation goal). Issuing bodies span school districts, state departments, correctional facilities, and park authorities; the code shows activity across multiple issuing-body types rather than concentration in a single sector.

Geographic spread is nationwide but lightly clustered in California and the Western states, with recent activity documented in California, Nevada, Maryland, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, South Dakota, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the California EVSE infrastructure procurement (DVBE 3% mandatory with 5% incentive option and 5% small-business preference), which involves site preparation, trenching, electrical conduit installation, concrete pad work, and system testing with prevailing wage and C-10 general contracting license requirements; the Twin Rivers school district electric SUV purchase (RFB, open competitive, details not disclosed); and the Maryland state park EV charging station upgrade with 15% MBE goal. The code shows moderate recent activity with issuing bodies actively buying both vehicles and supporting electrical infrastructure, though the volume of solicitations does not indicate saturation. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body—California enforces DVBE and small-business participation, Maryland targets MBE participation, and some opportunities carry prevailing wage obligations typical of state and local construction or equipment installation work. Response dates cluster in the second and third quarters of 2026.
