UNSPSC 25101944: Runway sweeper, towed

A tow-behind airport sweeper is used for effective airfield snow removal and maintenance operations. The combined clearing action of the high-speed rotating brush and the powerful air blast remove snow, slush, debris, and dust from runways.

UNSPSC 25101944 Runway sweeper, towed is a Commodity code that covers mechanical street sweeping equipment and services for municipal roadways, parking lots, and adjacent infrastructure. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for street and roadway sweeping services delivered by contractors operating mechanical sweeper fleets, and secondarily for replacement broom components and parts supporting existing sweeper equipment. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span cities, counties, and regional purchasing consortia, with recent activity concentrated among municipal public works and environmental services departments responsible for maintaining paved rights-of-way and traffic areas.

Recent solicitations demonstrate the scope: Louisville Metro Government's Public Works Department–Solid Waste Management and Services Division issued RFP 260258 in May 2026 for street sweeping across 530.40 centerline miles of suburban roadways and 90 centerline miles of bike lanes, with responses due June 12, 2026 and evaluation weighted 60% price, 20% qualifications and experience, 10% fleet and equipment, and 10% capacity. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued RFP Item #26-145 in February 2026 for street sweeping of downtown roads (approximately 50 centerline miles, swept weekly) and countywide roads (approximately 1,100 centerline miles, monthly or quarterly), with mandatory pre-proposal conference March 2, 2026 and responses due March 9, 2026. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program, acting on behalf of 32 participating municipalities in Massachusetts, issued an IFB for street sweeping services across six municipalities from April 2026 through June 2028 with bids due March 18, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $61,440 across the three-year period. The City of Tucson's Environmental General Services Department solicited bids via IFB 240189 for replacement street sweeper brooms to supply its fleet of eleven Freightliner sweepers, with delivery to Tucson's Fleet Services Auto Stores location. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions (Georgia, Kentucky), New England (Massachusetts), and Southwest (Arizona) jurisdictions.
