UNSPSC 25181705: Temperature controlled tanker trailers

UNSPSC 25181705 Temperature controlled tanker trailers is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase temperature-controlled and specialty tank trailers for fleet operations, waste management, fuel delivery, and mobile service support. Recent solicitations show municipalities and state transportation departments acquiring fuel tankers, spray tank trailers with maximum capacities ranging from 3,135 to 4,200 gallons, grapple dump trailers with hydraulic systems, and general-purpose heavy-duty trailers for equipment transport. The work spans new equipment procurement through repair, parts supply, and maintenance contracts. Issuing bodies include city departments of public works (Atlanta, Phoenix), county fleet and purchasing departments (DeKalb, Habersham, Palm Beach), state transportation agencies (TxDOT), and university procurement offices (Texas A&M University-Kingsville). Single purchases of specialist trailers and larger fleet procurements—such as grapple dump trailers for storm debris management and multiple spray tank systems for highway maintenance—appear frequently.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation has issued multiple emergency procurements for spray tank trailers across districts (Houston, El Paso, Odessa, Waco, Yoakum), with responses due between mid-May and late August 2026. Habersham County in Georgia solicited two separate grapple dump trailers in September 2026 (RFQ 2027-05 closing September 16, ITB 2027-06 closing October 15), the City of Atlanta issued a heavy-duty trailers IFB closing October 21, 2026, and Palm Beach County requested a one-time 9,000-gallon fuel tanker purchase closing November 19, 2026. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued a five-year contract for transport trailers and related equipment closing October 6, 2026. These solicitations typically impose firm-fixed pricing, require F.O.B. destination terms, demand proof of manufacturer authorization or authorized dealer status, and mandate 12-month minimum warranties. Most state transportation and county procurements require sealed electronic submission, compliance with state family-code child support certifications, and proof of liability insurance with the issuing body named as additional insured.
