UNSPSC 25181703: Livestock trailers

UNSPSC 25181703 Livestock trailers is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement describes trailers for specialized operational purposes — including pressure-washing equipment, dump and refuse systems, surveillance and command platforms, and equipment transport — rather than livestock hauling. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring enclosed cargo trailers for firefighter gear storage, refuse transfer trailers with walking-floor systems, lowboy equipment trailers with 35-ton capacity for heavy construction equipment, hydraulic dump trailers, and specialized trailers such as pressure-washing units with dust abatement and law enforcement surveillance platforms. The issuing bodies span counties (Sacramento, Sarasota, Pickens, Hillsborough, DeKalb, Jackson, Baraga, Santa Clara, Fulton, Floyd, Clay), cities (San Antonio, Perry, Sandersville, Valdosta, Atlanta, Phoenix, Tucson), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, Georgia Department of Agriculture, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Birdville Independent School District), water authorities (Macon Water Authority), and special-purpose districts and cooperatives (Sourcewell, Boulder County Housing Department). Sacramento County and Sarasota County appear repeatedly, and TxDOT posted multiple deckover and dump-trailer solicitations across its districts.

Geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, and Missouri, with additional activity in Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, and North Carolina. Representative opportunities include the City of San Antonio's RFQ for three rear-ejection brush trailers for solid waste management (due July 27, 2026), Sarasota County's Quick Quote for a pressure-washing water trailer with dust abatement and Tsurumi pump (due July 17, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for a refrigeration trailer and dry van trailer (both due July 24, 2026), Sacramento County's RFB for a 35-ton lowboy equipment trailer with air-ride suspension and optional trade-in (due August 3, 2026), and Palm Beach County's series of RFQs for a single 12,000 GVWR dump trailer (multiple iterations, final due July 16, 2026). The code shows sustained activity with tight timelines — most recent bids close within two to four weeks of posting — and mixed procurement sizes from single-unit buys to small fleet purchases. Sourcing is competitive across most jurisdictions; however, Hillsborough County conducted two sole-source procurements (special procurements under Section 3-207) to specified vendors Sun State International Trucks and Coastal Rescue Solutions for specialized equipment with tight grant-compliance deadlines.
