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 that encompasses the purchase, installation, and commissioning of EV charging infrastructure and related electrical work at state and local facilities, including Level 2 and Level 3 chargers, associated conduit and panel infrastructure, bollards, disconnect switches, and site preparation work. State and local governments procuring under this code include state departments of transportation (California, Massachusetts), state environmental and conservation agencies (Massachusetts DCR, Maryland), municipalities (cities of Doral, South Fulton, Tempe, Tallahassee, Palm Beach), transit authorities (MBTA, Broward County Transportation, Park City Municipal Corporation), state colleges (Florida Southwestern State College), and county governments. California Caltrans and Massachusetts DCR and DOER emerge as repeat buyers, each with multiple recent solicitations across different sites and facility types. Recent work centers on fleet charging infrastructure at maintenance stations, government buildings, state parks, and transit facilities, with representative opportunities including the California Department of Transportation's Level II installation at Blythe Maintenance Station (IFB, bid due June 10, 2026), the MBTA's turnkey EVSE package at Everett Shops including four DC fast chargers and four fleet chargers (RFP, due April 20, 2026), Abington Township, Pennsylvania's five dual Level 2 stations across three municipal locations (sealed bid via PennBid, due June 1, 2026), and multiple Massachusetts DCR fleet charging installations at state parks and forests (RFP, proposals due March 23 through May 11, 2026).

Activity concentrates heavily in California, Massachusetts, and Florida, with secondary presence in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Arizona, Georgia, and Utah. California solicitations dominate the volume, typically restricted to certified Small Business and Micro Business contractors under Government Code 14838.7, with prevailing wage and DVBE participation requirements. Massachusetts procurements cluster under statewide contract VEH122 and the Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), with widespread use of the COMMBUYS platform. Florida and other states show sporadic activity tied to specific government facilities. Most installations require C-10 contractor licensing (California), prevailing wage compliance, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, comprehensive liability insurance, ADA accessibility compliance, and compliance with National Electrical Code standards. Bid response periods typically range from 3–8 weeks, with many California projects imposing mandatory virtual pre-bid site inspections. Small business set-asides and local vendor preferences appear consistently in California and Maryland solicitations; Massachusetts emphasizes SBPP preference. The code shows sustained procurement activity aligned with state EV infrastructure mandates and federal NEVI funding, particularly at transportation, park, and government administrative facilities nationwide.
