UNSPSC 25181602: Truck chassis

UNSPSC 25181602 Truck chassis (Commodity) covers the acquisition of truck chassis and cab-and-chassis units for vocational applications, including pickup truck platforms, medium-duty dump truck chassis, and specialized vehicles such as refrigerated box trucks and emergency response units. State and local governments use this code for fleet replacement, departmental vehicle acquisitions, and emergency response vehicle procurement across a range of chassis weights and configurations. Recent solicitations show demand for both light-duty pickup truck chassis (F-150, F-250, F-350) and heavier medium-duty units (F-550, Class 5–7 dump trucks, ARFF vehicles) specified for specific departmental missions including maintenance, public works, hazardous materials response, food distribution, and police operations.

Issuers are geographically dispersed across municipal departments, county purchasing offices, school districts, water authorities, special-purpose districts, and state agencies. The City of San Antonio, Portage Public Schools (Michigan), Bartow County (Georgia), Butts County (Georgia), and the Macon Water Authority (Georgia) represent recent active buyers; the Kansas Turnpike Authority and University of Texas at Austin have also posted multi-unit solicitations. The recent pipeline shows activity concentrated in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Midwest (Michigan, Kansas) through February–July 2026. Representative opportunities include Portage Public Schools' RFP for one plow truck (due July 14, 2026), the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's emergency sole-source purchase of seven Ford F-150 and F-350 trucks for fleet replacement (executed June 28, 2026, $446,852.81), the City of San Antonio's IFB for approximately 91 light and medium-duty vehicles across multiple departments (bids due July 15, 2026), Griffin-Spalding County School System's IFB for one refrigerated box truck (bids due July 23, 2026), and Bartow County's RFB for 20 Ford vehicles (F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and Explorer SUVs, due February 20, 2026). The Kansas Turnpike Authority's RFQ for twelve medium-duty dump truck tandem cab-chassis units (due February 13, 2026) and the Macon Water Authority's IFB for 15 new Ford trucks across multiple configurations (due March 10, 2026) exemplify fleet-wide replacements and departmental vehicle standardization. Cooperative purchasing structures appear in Utah's courtesy posting for truck bodies (CES 2026U-03, due April 11, 2026), indicating broader regional leverage opportunities.
