UNSPSC 25181613: Automotive chassis fitted with engine

UNSPSC 25181613 Automotive chassis fitted with engine (Commodity) represents chassis and engine assemblies that state and local governments acquire as base platforms for specialized vehicles, though recent procurement activity shows the code captures demand for both completed chassis and chassis-based upfit services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cities and counties across the Southwest and upper Midwest, with Salt Lake City, Tucson, Albuquerque, Lubbock, Sacramento, and North Las Vegas appearing as repeat buyers of vehicle fleet assets and related services over the past five months. The scope of work extends beyond simple chassis procurement to include complete installation of utility service bodies, animal protection enclosures, and transmission or collision repair services fitted to chassis bases—reflecting how jurisdictions frequently bundle chassis procurement with body-shop or mechanical upfit work under a single code tag.

Recent opportunities confirm high activity in the Southwest and Texas: Salt Lake City posted RFB SLCI27033 on September 18, 2026 (due October 8, 2026) for transmission replacement and repair services on specified vehicle models including 2025 Ford Explorer and 2026 Ford F-250 and Silverado units; the City of Tucson issued RFP No. 230164 in August 2026 for heavy-duty truck utility service body installation on separately procured chassis with estimated annual spend of $250,000–$300,000; the County of Sacramento solicited RFB 2026RFB0004 on April 24, 2026 for construction and installation of nine-foot utility service bodies on 10,200-pound GVWR cab and chassis units with a minimum of three and maximum of six bodies in the first contract year; and the City of North Las Vegas posted RFP 2026-020 on July 7, 2026 for animal protection body upfit on two 2025 Ford F-350 Super Cab chassis. Lubbock, Texas, has emerged as a highly active jurisdiction, posting multiple ITBs for secondary light-duty vehicle maintenance (due August 26, 2026) and heavy-duty vehicle and watercraft maintenance (due August 11, 2026) reflecting ongoing fleet support demand. Contract terms typically run one to four years with optional renewal periods, and many solicitations reserve the right to award multiple vendors to ensure geographic or service-capacity coverage.
