UNSPSC 25181703: Livestock trailers

UNSPSC 25181703 Livestock trailers is a Commodity code that state and local governments are procuring under a much broader scope than the nominal category name suggests—recent solicitations show purchasing of mortuary trailers, poultry processing trailers, grapple dump trailers, utility trailers with bathroom and storage, refuse trailers, equipment trailers, and specialized service vehicles. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas A&M University System, Mississippi State University, Texas Department of Transportation), counties (Habersham County GA, Sacramento County CA, Seminole County FL, DeKalb County GA, Pinellas County FL, Boulder County CO, Palm Beach County FL, Macon Water Authority GA), cities (San Antonio TX, Atlanta GA, Tucson AZ, Perry GA, Valdosta GA), fire and rescue departments (Clay County FL, Hillsborough County FL, San Bernardino County CA), and special districts and universities. The work solicited includes purchase of new and used trailers outright; repair, refurbishment, and maintenance services; and rental with emergency response capability—a much wider band than "livestock trailers" connotes. Recent opportunities name mortuary trailer deployment and strike team staffing (Texas HHSC, multiple IFB and RFP cycles since June 2026), equipment and lowboy trailer procurement (Sacramento County, Texas CPA Comptroller's statewide procurement), dump and grapple trailers for storm debris (Habersham County GA, multiple RFQ cycles), refuse trailer refurbishment (Seminole County FL, IFB with time-and-materials pricing), and portable hygiene and sanitation trailer rental with 24-hour emergency response (Pinellas County FL, ITQ).

Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Colorado, Arizona, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0017352V3 for Mortality Resources and Services due October 28, 2026, requiring deployment of four 32-foot mortuary trailers within 24 hours with licensed funeral directors and trained strike teams; Fort Valley State University RFQ for a customized 53-foot poultry processing trailer due October 30, 2026; Habersham County Board of Commissioners RFQ 2027-06 for a grapple dump trailer with 21-foot reach hydraulic arm, due October 15, 2026; Sacramento County RFB 2026RFB0102 for a new enclosed utility trailer with bathroom and storage (maximum 7,000 pounds GVWR, interior 12 feet by 7 feet), due October 27, 2026, with anticipated award November 13, 2026; Pinellas County ITQ 260836 for portable toilets, handwashing stations, and restroom/shower/laundry trailers with 24-hour emergency response capability and four-hour deployment requirement, due October 6, 2026, with 36-month initial term; and Seminole County IFB-5262-26/LTT for refuse trailer refurbishment and repair services on time-and-materials basis, due August 26, 2026, with three-year term plus renewals. The code shows sustained multi-cycle procurement activity—many jurisdictions repost identical or nearly identical solicitations multiple times within a three-to-six-month window, particularly Palm Beach County (dump trailer 12,000 GVWR, seven RFQ variants between June and September 2026), Texas HHSC (mortality services, three major IFB versions between July and October 2026), and Pickens County GA (recycle dump trailer, two separate RFBs in April-May 2026). No set-aside activity is prominently named, though some jurisdictions offer local-vendor preferences (Sacramento, Pinellas, San Bernardino, Palm Beach) and HUB subcontracting plans are encouraged but not required in several Texas solicitations.
