UNSPSC 25181705: Temperature controlled tanker trailers

UNSPSC 25181705 Temperature controlled tanker trailers, a Commodity code, covers specialized tank trailers that state and local governments procure for fuel, water, brine, spray systems, and hazardous-material transport. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation dominating the buyer base, with secondary activity from county fleet departments and municipal water utilities, acquiring new trailers ranging from 500-barrel frac tanks to 4,200-gallon spray systems, along with associated repair services and replacement parts. The scope spans fuel delivery trailers, brine spray systems for road de-icing, portable water dispensing equipment, refuse transfer trailers with walking-floor discharge, and diesel fuel tank units, with procurement driven by fleet renewal, emergency equipment replacement, and specialized operational needs rather than commodity standardization.

Texas Department of Transportation accounts for the plurality of recent activity, posting multiple IFBs across district operations for spray tank trailers (Odessa, El Paso, Houston, Waco Districts), fuel trailers, and brine spray systems through the Euna Procurement portal (formerly Bonfire), all requiring CMBL registration and NIGP code classification; DeKalb County, Georgia (Fleet Department) has issued consecutive ITBs for walking-floor open refuse transfer trailers on the OpenGov platform; and the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works issued a pre-solicitation notice for heavy-duty trailers, repair services, and parts spanning twelve equipment groups with a bid due date of May 1, 2026. Secondary activity includes the Illinois Secretary of State (RFQ for a 450–500-gallon diesel fuel trailer, due February 18, 2026), the City of Tampa Water Department (ITB for a portable water dispensing trailer), the City of Tucson (RFP for trailer brakes and repair services), and the County of Santa Clara (bridge construction project unrelated to trailer procurement, posted in error). Texas, Georgia, and Illinois show the most concentrated recent procurement velocity; TxDOT consistently posts emergency purchases under Texas Government Code 2155.137 and 34 TAC 20.82, with compressed timelines and firm, fixed-price F.O.B. destination terms including freight, warranty, and acceptance inspection within five working days.
