UNSPSC 25101511: Plug-In-hybrid electric vehicle

A type of hybrid electric vehicle whose battery can be recharged by plugging it into an external source of electric power, as well by its on-board engine and generator.

UNSPSC 25101511 Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations. The recent opportunities identified in the source describe acquisition of traditional internal combustion engine trucks, fuel delivery services, marine fuel supply, and fleet vehicle repair and maintenance—none of which involve plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or any hybrid powertrains. A Marion County, Oregon health consortium posted a refrigerated truck solicitation (October 2026); Riverside County sought 1/2-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks (October 2026); Lubbock Power & Light issued an ITB for fleet trucks including 3/4-ton extended-cab and 1-ton crew-cab models (October 2026); and Fontana Unified School District solicited seven refrigerated trucks (October 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a statewide IFB for Class 6, 7, and 8 heavy trucks across multiple configurations (October 2026); Sacramento County bid dump trucks and 10-wheel trucks (August–September 2026); and multiple cities including Wichita, Tampa, and Santa Clara County posted RFBs and ITBs for pickup trucks, specialized fleet vehicles, and OEM repair services. Across the entire recent-opportunities block, no state or local issuing body has solicited plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and no vendor response has referenced hybrid powertrains or electrification as a procurement option.

The code sees no decision-relevant recent activity at the commodity level. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor whether state and local jurisdictions begin incorporating alternative-fuel and zero-emission vehicle mandates into their fleet procurement policies, as some RFPs note evaluation of hybrid and electric options (e.g., Sacramento County's dump truck solicitation encouraged submission of alternative fuel options), but current activity remains concentrated on traditional diesel and gasoline fleets. Absent explicit state or local requirements mandating hybrid powertrains or a demonstrated buyer preference for plug-in hybrid configurations, this code does not support immediate pursuit under current market conditions.
