UNSPSC 25181602: Truck chassis

UNSPSC 25181602 Truck chassis (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of the truck procurement market: state and local governments are buying complete finished trucks across a range of tonnages and configurations, not chassis alone. The recent opportunities demonstrate that issuing bodies specify finished vehicles by make, model, engine type, cab configuration, bed length, and accessory package rather than purchasing bare chassis for upfitting. Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District solicited complete factory-ordered 2027 Ford F-250 and F-150 crew cab trucks under two separate ITBs (August and September 2026). Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L), a municipal utility, requested three complete pickup trucks—two 3/4-ton extended-cab long-bed 4x4 units and one 1-ton crew-cab with utility bed—with standard and extended warranty options specified. The City of Cartersville, Georgia posted four separate IFBs across July 2026 for complete half-ton and three-quarter-ton crew-cab pickups with detailed equipment lists. Macon Water Authority (Georgia) bid nine replacement vehicles including Ford Explorer, F-150, F-250, and F-350 units for operational departments. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities, county and city governments, municipal fire districts, school systems, and state purchasing divisions. State-level procurement offices (Florida Department of Management Services, Georgia Department of Administrative Services, South Dakota Office of Procurement Management, Illinois Emergency Management Agency) issue statewide term contracts or framework agreements; municipal and county purchasing departments issue one-off or small-quantity IFBs and RFQs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, and California, with scattered solicitations in Michigan, Illinois, and South Dakota. The Florida Department of Management Services issued a major statewide ITB for medium and heavy trucks (Class 3–8) with an anticipated award in November 2026 and contract start January 1, 2027; the previous contract averaged $1,836,447 annual spend. South Dakota's Office of Procurement Management solicited sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks across 27 line items with contract effective October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and renewal options. Kansas Turnpike Authority issued two RFQs (September and October 2026) for pickup trucks (half-ton and full-size crew cabs) with response dates September 28 and October 16, 2026. The City of San Antonio issued an IFB for an estimated 91 light and medium-duty vehicles with a pre-bid conference on June 30, 2026 and bids due July 15, 2026. Portage Public Schools (Michigan) requested one plow truck under RFP #20476 with proposals due July 14, 2026. Griffin-Spalding County School System (Georgia) bid a refrigerated box truck under IFB #27-102 with bids due July 23, 2026. Lubbock Power & Light's ITB 7102-27-ELD closes October 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST with a local-vendor preference provision. Georgia's state purchasing division issued overlapping RFPs for police vehicles and special operations vehicles with closing dates October 8 and November 7, 2026. The code shows persistent, distributed activity across municipal and county fleets, utilities, fire districts, schools, and state agencies, with purchases concentrated in the half-ton to 1-ton range for general operations and specialized configurations (dump trucks, refrigerated bodies, plow trucks, fire apparatus chassis) for mission-specific use.
