UNSPSC 25181604: Cargo truck body

The main part of the vehicle which is mounted on the chassis frame and directly linked to the suspension.

UNSPSC 25181604 Cargo truck body is a Commodity code that covers custom-fabricated truck bodies and upfit systems installed on chassis purchased separately by state and local agencies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to field specialized service vehicles — prisoner-transport vans with containment and security features, dump bodies with hydraulic tailgates and spreader systems, utility service bodies for road maintenance and fleet operations, and heavy-duty commercial truck configurations. The work spans initial design and fabrication, welding and structural assembly, installation of hydraulic and electrical systems, safety and compliance certification, and delivery inspection at the contractor's facility or the customer's location. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county sheriffs and fleet services, municipalities, school districts, water authorities, and transit-adjacent special-purpose districts. A mix of both turnkey equipment procurement (where the vendor supplies chassis and body together) and body-only contracts (where the agency sources the chassis separately) appears in recent activity.

Recent solicitations span multiple states and geographies. Texas Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for central hydraulic system kits (October 2026), Orange County Sheriff-Coroner (California) solicited fabrication and installation of four prisoner-containment transportation vans with an IFB due October 30, 2026, Rockwood School District (Missouri) requested upfitting and installation on a Ford F550 dump truck (September 2026), the University of Georgia procured an Altec chip truck on a Ford F-550 chassis via RFQ (September 2026), Kansas Turnpike Authority sought twelve dump truck bodies for Freightliner chassis (June 2026, extended to July 6), Chatham County, Georgia issued multiple ITBs for new International dump body and knuckle-boom loader trucks (April–June 2026), Mississippi Department of Transportation bid twenty 20-cubic-yard dump trailers (August 2026), the City of Tucson, Arizona advertised an RFP for heavy-duty truck utility service bodies with estimated annual spend of $250,000–$300,000 (August 2023 posting, substantially prior), and Macon Water Authority (Georgia) sought one dump trailer (June 2026). Geographic concentration includes Texas, Georgia, California, Missouri, Kansas, Mississippi, and Arizona, with repeat activity in Georgia (Chatham County multiple awards) and strong representation from state DOTs and county fleet operations.
