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 is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as specialized fleet assets, though recent state and local opportunities under this code show no directly related activity; the recent-opportunity block contains vehicle solicitations spanning conventional gas, diesel, CNG, and electric drivetrains, but no plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) appear in the posted opportunities.

The absence of PHEV-specific solicitations in the recent state and local procurement record reflects current fleet acquisition patterns across the jurisdictions surveyed. Cities, counties, transit authorities, and utility districts are actively procuring light-duty trucks (Ford F-550, F-450, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram series), heavy-duty dump trucks (Freightliner, Kenworth, International), transit buses (35-foot low-floor), specialized service vehicles (sewer cleaners, paint trucks, command vehicles), and police pursuit platforms (Chevrolet Tahoe, Dodge Durango, Ford Police Interceptor Utility), but PHEV platforms do not appear among the line items or specifications in the April–July 2026 opportunity set. Long Beach Public Utilities, Wichita Fleet Services, Hillsborough County, Indianapolis, Charlotte, and smaller municipal fleets are acquiring conventional powertrains—gasoline, diesel, CNG, and in one instance electric (implied in Santa Monica's authorization to service battery electric vehicles)—but no issuing body has posted a solicitation specifically requesting plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The PHEV code remains inactive in the state and local procurement market at present.
