UNSPSC 25174805: Vehicle sand spreader

A specifically equipped vehicle that sprays sand for snow removal to make flawless traffic flow when there is snow or ice on the road due to snowfall during winter.

UNSPSC 25174805 Vehicle sand spreader is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure truck-mounted and trailer-mounted equipment for winter road maintenance, de-icing, and material distribution. Recent solicitations show state transportation departments and regional authorities buying spreader systems integrated into comprehensive winter truck buildouts—ground speed-controlled salt distribution systems with joystick controls and LCD displays, hydraulic dump and spreader body combinations (11-foot and 14-foot variants), pre-wet systems with proportional controls, and associated accessories including fuel tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, and automatic tarp assemblies. Spreader repair parts and replacement equipment are also purchased under related line items. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, county toll road authorities, and county maintenance operations, with repeat activity from Michigan Department of Transportation and Harris County Toll Road Authority appearing in recent postings.

Recent opportunities cluster in Michigan, Texas, and California. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued RFP 260000002057 for winter maintenance truck buildup components (including ground speed-controlled salt spreader systems) with a response date of July 2, 2026, under a five-year optional contract term beginning December 1, 2026, with available cooperative purchasing to other states, local units of government, school districts, universities, and nonprofit hospitals through MiDEAL. Harris County Toll Road Authority posted ITB 250185 on May 22, 2026, for replacement sprayers and spreaders (four commercial snow and ice control spreaders from Henderson—single-source manufacturer—with delivery within 14 calendar days and firm pricing for 90 days). The Texas Department of Transportation solicited cross conveyor spreaders through Bonfire (solicitation 601310000099721, Wichita Falls District, February 2026) and a box spreader unit (solicitation 601320000069526, Austin District, March 2026) for aggregate and ice control material distribution. The State of Illinois procured spreader repair parts through a joint purchase master contract (JPMC 26416CMSBOSS4B50785, posted February 2026, for repair parts and accessories to Monroe, Swenson, Raiko, and Dickey-John equipment, with 24-hour delivery service to any Illinois location).
