UNSPSC 25101917: Flatbed truck

A truck with an unenclosed bed, e.g., without sides, doors or roof.

UNSPSC 25101917 Flatbed truck is a Commodity code describing specialized vehicles state and local governments procure for fleet operations, though recent opportunities show the code is tagged inconsistently—many posted flatbed-truck opportunities involve wheel-lift dump bodies, police pursuit vehicles, autonomous shuttles, bookmobiles, and other specialized upfits rather than traditional flatbed platforms. State and local issuers across the code span county purchasing departments, municipal fleet and public safety operations, transit authorities, and special districts; repeat activity appears among police departments and county maintenance functions. Recent opportunities include the City of Charlotte's pursuit-vehicle indefinite-quantity contract (ITB 269-2026-173, responses due June 9, 2026) covering Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford SUV and truck models; Hillsborough County's passenger-van and bus procurement (ITB-26-00260, estimated $460,000, responses due May 28, 2026); the City of Wichita's bomb-squad and command-vehicle RFPs (RFP 260039 and 260091, responses due April 24 and May 15, 2026); and the Savannah Airport Commission's class III 4WD truck with landscape dump (RFQ 2026-0004, responses due March 5, 2026).

Geographic activity is distributed across Texas, Kansas, Georgia, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida, with no single state dominating the posted docket. The recent-opportunities block shows material volume in police and public-safety vehicle procurement across the Southeast and Southwest, municipal fleet modernization in Texas and Florida, and specialized-duty vehicles (command, bookmobile, autonomous shuttle, hazmat) in mixed jurisdictions nationwide. State and local buyers are increasingly integrating electric or autonomous capability into upfitted vehicle specs, and many are executing requirements or indefinite-quantity contracts rather than one-time purchases, signaling sustained fleet replacement cycles. Bidders should expect fixed-price delivery, comprehensive insurance mandates, performance-bond requirements for higher values, and increasing pressure to demonstrate local parts-and-service infrastructure, DBE participation, and compliance with vehicle-emission and safety standards.
