UNSPSC 25180000: Vehicle bodies and trailers

UNSPSC 25180000 Vehicle bodies and trailers (Family) encompasses the design, fabrication, supply, and installation of specialized vehicle bodies, trailers, and trailer-mounted equipment that state and local governments procure to expand fleet capacity, add operational capability, or replace worn assets. Recent solicitations show states, counties, cities, and special districts buying breathing air compressor trailers, tilt-type sliding axle equipment trailers, pickup trucks with integrated fuel tanks, medical ambulance buses, enclosed and utility trailers, dump bodies mounted on chassis, refuse collection vehicles, transit buses, and specialized equipment like mobile STEM labs and drone operations trailers. The code also captures related services including trailer repair and maintenance, inspection and compliance auditing, and parts supply agreements supporting fleet operations.

Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, New Hampshire), county highway and public works departments (Orange County California, Bergen County New Jersey, Portage County Wisconsin, Sacramento County California, Hillsborough County Florida, Flagler County Florida), municipalities (Lubbock Texas, Tucson Arizona, Tempe Arizona, Owensboro Kentucky, Norwich Connecticut), special districts including school and transit authorities (Temple Independent School District Texas, Park City Municipal Corporation Utah, Sarasota County Transit Florida, Salt Lake Community College Utah), and institutions (Auburn University Alabama). Missouri Department of Transportation Northeast District appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting tilt-type sliding axle equipment trailers multiple times within the past six months. Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest (California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado), South (Texas, Florida, Missouri), and Northeast (Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey), with additional procurement from state-level cooperative vehicles serving nationwide participation. Recent opportunities posted across October 2026, September 2026, August 2026, July 2026, June 2026, and May 2026 show sustained demand.
