UNSPSC 25101900: Specialized and recreational vehicles

UNSPSC 25101900 Specialized and recreational vehicles is a Class code that state and local governments use to procure pickup trucks, fire engines, ambulances, utility vehicles, and specialized emergency or operational equipment vehicles. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring quarter-ton and three-quarter-ton pickups with fuel storage or dump bodies, medium and heavy trucks for fleet replacement, structural fire engines and Airport Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) apparatus, dive team trailers, Tactical Support Unit vehicles, and custom-configured specialty rigs. The code spans both straightforward vehicle purchases and complex turnkey builds where equipment integration, custom upfitting, and operational readiness specifications dominate the scope. Issuing bodies include county transportation and water authorities, municipal departments of public works and police, fire departments, transit agencies, state transportation departments, and specialized districts. Riverside County appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple truck RFBs in October 2026; the South Dakota Department of Transportation and Florida Department of Management Services also solicit at scale under this code. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, South Dakota, and Nevada, with additional activity in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, and Massachusetts.
