UNSPSC 25101705: Fire fighting water tank truck

Fire truck equipped with water tank and water intake device to supply water for pumping

UNSPSC 25101705 Fire fighting water tank truck is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as specialized emergency response apparatus — aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, type 1 fire engines, quint apparatus, and rescue/quick-attack platforms mounted on heavy-duty chassis. Recent solicitations show these jurisdictions buying complete, factory-built apparatus meeting NFPA standards (1901, 1911, 1915) with integrated water tanks, pumps, hose systems, and emergency lighting rather than tank trucks in isolation. Issuing bodies span city fire departments, county governments, airport authorities, and regional fire services across multiple states; city-level fire operations dominate the recent activity, with repeating buyers including the City of Santa Monica (four type 1 engines and two tractor-drawn aerials), Chatham County, Georgia (five pumper apparatus), Union City Fire Department (one Sutphen quint), and Richmond Hill, Georgia (one Class A fire engine). Airport authorities also procure ARFF vehicles under this code, as shown by Brazoria County, Augusta Regional Airport, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The geographic spread covers at least Georgia (Union County, Richmond Hill, Chatham County, Augusta Regional Airport, Union City), Texas (San Antonio, Brazoria County, and a Texas-based RFP through the Purchasing Cooperative of America), California (Santa Monica), Connecticut (Farmington), Florida (Lee County Port Authority, Broward County), and participatory states in cooperative procurement frameworks (Mississippi NASPO ValuePoint, Utah). Representative recent opportunities include Brazoria County Courthouse Purchasing Department's ITB for an airport rescue firefighting truck due August 3, 2026; Union County, Georgia's RFP for a rescue/quick attack apparatus on a Ford F-550 chassis due July 16, 2026; Chatham County, Georgia's ITB for five fire truck pumpers due May 28, 2026; and the City of Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for four type 1 engines and two tractor-drawn aerials due June 11, 2026. The NASPO ValuePoint cooperative procurement led by Mississippi (due June 10, 2026) and the City of Eugene's notice of intent to procure Pierce Velocity PUC Pumpers through Sourcewell ($2,293,103.00 estimated value) show ongoing demand through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
