UNSPSC 25181609: Bulk trailer

A trailer that is designed and manufactured to transport bulk materials such as cement, gravel, coal, grain and other powdered or granular cargo in natural condition without packing.

UNSPSC 25181609 Bulk trailer is a Commodity code covering specialized transport equipment for heavy loads and infrastructure support. State and local governments procure flatbed equipment trailers with capacities ranging from 10 to 60 tons, lowboy gooseneck trailers for oversized construction equipment, side dump trailers with hydraulic hoist systems, and specialized inspection and water-filtration trailers. Recent solicitations show demand for trailers configured with specific axle counts, suspension types, braking systems, deck materials, and hydraulic or electrical subsystems tailored to fleet operations, emergency services, solid waste, transportation departments, and water utilities.

Counties, municipalities, and regional special-purpose districts dominate buying activity under this code. Sacramento County has posted multiple RFBs for equipment trailers within the past quarter, including a 35-ton lowboy with detachable gooseneck (RFB #2025-RFB-0086, due December 22, 2025) and a 26-foot gooseneck emergency services trailer (RFB #2026-RFB-0030, due April 30, 2026). The State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation, issued a significant statewide IFB for multiple heavy-duty trailer configurations including beavertail tandem and triple axle, sliding axle, folding gooseneck, and belly dump models (IFB No. 304T-26-073A1, due May 14, 2026). The State of Illinois sought fabricated trailers for AXON pods (due May 14, 2026), and Texas CPA again procured trailer-mounted under-bridge inspection equipment on behalf of TxDOT (IFB No. 304T-26-065A2.1, due February 18, 2026). Activity also appears in Florida and Georgia counties—Marion County Solid Waste issued an ITB for a 21-foot side dump trailer with hydraulic scissor hoist (ITB 26B-078, due May 21, 2026), Floyd County Water Department in Georgia sought two 10-ton trailers (due April 7, 2026), and the City of Detroit issued an RFQ for a mobile water-filtration trailer (RFQ No. 544243, due May 11, 2026). California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona show the strongest recent concentration, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Utah (through cooperative purchasing). Most notices require electronic bid submission through Bonfire or similar portals, pre-bid Q&A periods, FOB destination delivery with vendor freight responsibility, firm pricing typically valid 90 days after bid closing, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability. Local vendor preferences (2–5%) and small-business equalization credits appear in Sacramento County and Detroit awards; Texas SmartBuy administrative fees of 1.5% apply statewide.
