UNSPSC 25101900: Specialized and recreational vehicles

UNSPSC 25101900 Specialized and recreational vehicles is a Class code that spans the purchase of purpose-built and modified vehicles for law enforcement, fire and rescue, specialized operations, and recreational use by state and local governments. State and local buyers under this code acquire police pursuit vehicles and command vehicles, fire and rescue equipment vehicles including aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) units, tactical support platforms, mobile specialized-purpose vehicles (DNA labs, bomb squad command vehicles, incinerators), recreational and utility task vehicles for parks and natural resources management, food service vehicles and food trucks, upfitting and conversion services for fleet modification, and occasionally one-off specialty vehicles such as sidewalk sweepers and mobile autonomous shuttle operations. The issuing bodies span state departments (Michigan DNR, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Caltrans, Kentucky state agencies), counties (Orange County California, Williamson County Texas, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, San Bernardino County California, Butts County Georgia), cities (Meriden Connecticut, Phoenix Arizona, Charlotte North Carolina, Wichita Kansas, Arlington Texas, Salt Lake City, Santa Monica, Rome Georgia, Brookhaven Georgia, Altamonte Springs Florida), independent school districts (Katy ISD Texas, Houston Community College System), regional transit and airport authorities (Augusta Regional Airport Georgia, Savannah Airport Commission), and special-purpose districts (Eastern Municipal Water District California, Sterling Municipal Light Department Massachusetts). Orange County, California appears as a particularly active repeat buyer across multiple vehicle upfitting and procurement opportunities posted in recent months.

Recent opportunities span a geographic mix anchored in California (Orange County vehicle upfitting and police pursuit vehicles, Caltrans guard rail installers and digger derricks), Texas (Texas HHSC wheelchair lift repair, Katy ISD delivery truck, Houston Community College vehicles, City of Waco EV procurement), Florida (Altamonte Springs autonomous shuttle operations, Brookhaven police EV vehicles), and the upper Midwest (Michigan DNR parks UTVs, Wisconsin-Stout food truck), with additional activity in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Utah, and Nevada. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017701 for wheelchair vehicle parts and repair services at Richmond State Supported Living Center with responses due July 28, 2026; the City of Meriden, Connecticut ITB B027-13 for seven Ford Interceptor Utility police vehicles with upfitting under prevailing wage labor requirements, due July 29, 2026; Orange County Public Works' IFB0803079205AA for vehicle conversion and upfitting services using a five-year usage-based contract model, due June 26, 2026; the City of Charlotte's ITB 269-2026-173 for police pursuit vehicles structured as an indefinite quantity contract with four optional one-year extensions and participation through the Charlotte Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (CCPA), due June 9, 2026; and the City of Olathe Police Department's RFP260040 for a tactical support unit (TSU) equipment vehicle requiring 5,000 pounds minimum payload capacity and submitted through Bonfire by May 15, 2026. These solicitations show strong demand for police fleet modernization, specialized upfitting services, and procurement through cooperative purchasing frameworks alongside traditional competitive sealed bid and RFP structures. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively in recent opportunities, with some California procurements offering OCLSB/DVBE preference deductions and Charlotte's CCPA extending DBE/small business participation scoring; others (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kentucky, Utah) carry no explicit disadvantaged business designations visible in the posted materials.
