UNSPSC 25175000: Electric vehicle charging systems

Fixed and portable charging systems and accessories for electrically powered vehicles

UNSPSC 25175000 Electric vehicle charging systems is a Class code. State and local governments are currently procuring two distinct product streams under this code: turnkey EVSE installation services (labor plus electrical connection at fixed sites) and standalone EV charger equipment supply with delivery. Installation services dominate recent activity and span Level 2 charging stations, DC fast-charging (DCFC) systems, solar-powered e-bike and scooter charging stations, and battery storage systems. The work is split between government agencies performing installation in-house (with vendors supplying equipment and delivery only) and vendors providing full turnkey installation including site assessment, electrical infrastructure upgrades, conduit runs, concrete pads, bollards, trenching, testing, and commissioning. Recent opportunities show a strong emphasis on compliance with California electrical codes, prevailing wage requirements where federal funding is involved, and ADA accessibility mandates.

The issuing bodies span state transportation and energy departments (California Department of Water Resources, California Department of Transportation Caltrans, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources), county governments (Boulder County, Orange County California, Pinellas County School District), municipal departments (City of Tallahassee, City of Nashua New Hampshire, Abington Township Pennsylvania), transit authorities (Southeastern Regional Transit Authority Massachusetts), higher-education institutions (University of Southern Mississippi, Florida Southwestern State College), and special-purpose districts (Park City Municipal Corporation Utah). Recent activity clusters heavily in California (five recent solicitations) and Massachusetts (three), with secondary activity in Florida, Colorado, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include: Southeastern Regional Transit Authority Fall River (Massachusetts), RFP 27-02 posted September 1 with October 9 deadline, seeking installation of three ChargePoint charging units; California Department of Water Resources Buena Vista Pumping Plant (Kern County), contract 26-328070 posted July 30 with September 15 deadline, requiring installation of eight Level 2 and two Level 3 DCFC ports restricted to certified small-business contractors; City of Nashua, RFP0168081226 posted July 15 with August 12 deadline, seeking supply and installation of four Level 2 credit card-enabled chargers at Spring Street Parking Lot; and Abington Township (Montgomery County Pennsylvania), sealed bid posted May 1 with June 1 deadline, seeking five dual Level 2 stations across three municipal locations with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements funded by Pennsylvania Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant and DOE EECBG funding. Colorado (Boulder County BID-310-26, September 9 deadline) solicited goods and delivery only for ChargePoint equipment, while Massachusetts issued an RFI (Orange County California, July 27 posted, August 12 deadline) to inform future RFP development across three service models (equipment supply, network solutions with maintenance, and charging-as-a-service). California's set-aside structure for SB/MB contractors and small-business preferences appears consistently; prevailing wage applies to federally funded work; and mandatory pre-bid site inspections and virtual Microsoft Teams attendance are standard requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
