UNSPSC 25174802: Boom for wrecker truck or tow truck

Adjustable arm connected to winch for recovering vehicles that are in a ditch, culvert, over an embankment, or any place the wrecker cannot be safely backed into.

UNSPSC 25174802 Boom for wrecker truck or tow truck, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The source shows minimal relevant procurement activity; the five most recent opportunities tagged with or near this code involve heavy-duty utility service bodies for trucks, crane and hoist maintenance services, a DC electric powered crane for a fish hatchery, trailers and associated equipment, a man rider winch, and structural crane modifications at a water facility. Only one posting—the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's solicitation for a DC electric powered crane for delivery to AE Woods Fish Hatchery in San Marcos—involves crane-mounted equipment with any direct connection to the nominal scope of booms for wreckers or tow trucks, and that crane is designed for fish hatchery operations rather than wrecker or towing service. The City of Tucson has posted two opportunities recently, but neither addresses wrecker or tow truck booms; the first is for heavy-duty truck utility service bodies, and the second is for crane and hoist maintenance services across municipal facilities.

Recent activity under this code spans Texas, Arizona, Florida, and California, with issuing bodies including the City of Tucson, the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Collier County, Florida, and the State of California. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that this code sees little recent state and local procurement activity aligned with wrecker or tow truck boom systems. Businesses evaluating pursuit should verify whether the code classification reflects actual demand or administrative tagging error before committing resources to opportunity research in this category.
