UNSPSC 25181610: Air cargo trailer

A type of trailer used to transport cargo between airport terminal and aircraft. It is towed usually by battery operated tug vehicle.

UNSPSC 25181610 Air cargo trailer is a Commodity code representing specialized transport equipment that state and local governments procure for heavy equipment hauling, emergency services, and infrastructure support. Recent solicitations show that state and local jurisdictions are buying not air cargo trailers themselves, but rather heavy-duty ground-based equipment trailers—including 35-ton detachable gooseneck lowboys for transporting construction equipment, 60,000-pound GVWR dovetail trailers for flood control districts, side-dump trailers for solid waste operations, 26-foot emergency services gooseneck trailers, and 10-ton utility trailers for water departments. The issuing bodies span county solid waste and emergency services departments (Sacramento County, Marion County, San Bernardino County Flood Control), state transportation and procurement offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TxDOT), school districts (Parkway School District in Missouri), and cities (City of Detroit). These procurements are typically awarded through Invitations to Bid (ITB) or Requests for Bid (RFB), with response deadlines ranging from April through December 2026.

The code shows recent activity across California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri, with notable concentration in Sacramento County (which has issued multiple trailer RFBs for emergency services and heavy equipment transport). Representative recent opportunities include Sacramento County's RFB 2025-RFB-0086 for a 35-ton lowboy equipment trailer (due December 22, 2025), Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-073A1 for specialized beavertail, gooseneck, and dump trailers statewide (due May 14, 2026), Marion County Solid Waste ITB 26B-078 for a 21-foot side-dump equipment trailer (due May 21, 2026), and San Bernardino County Flood Control ITB PWG126-OPERA-6352 for a 60,000-pound GVWR dovetail equipment trailer (due April 10, 2026). Award cycles typically run 60 to 90 days post-bid, with contract terms commonly spanning 12 months or longer; most jurisdictions offer local vendor preferences (typically 2–5 percent) and evaluate bids on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis, factoring in warranty, local service availability, and delivery performance alongside price.
