UNSPSC 25181716: Chassis trailer

A trailer with an open frame bed used to carry heavy freight.

UNSPSC 25181716 Chassis trailer is a Commodity code spanning trailers designed for hauling equipment, materials, and specialized cargo across state and local operations. State and local governments procure dump trailers, equipment trailers, refrigeration units, pressure-washing trailers, fiber optic splicing units, walking-floor refuse transfer trailers, surveillance systems, command post facilities, and specialized rescue and storage equipment under this code. Recent solicitations show mixed usage: municipalities and counties buy commodity dump and equipment trailers for fleet and public works operations, while departments of transportation source highly specialized units, transit authorities and fire/rescue departments procure single-purpose trailers for disaster response and emergency services, and water authorities and sanitation districts acquire task-specific trailers for maintenance operations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, Georgia Department of Agriculture, Michigan Department of Natural Resources), county governments (Williamson County TX, Sacramento County CA, Sarasota County FL, Hillsborough County FL, Palm Beach County FL, Marion County FL, Jackson County MO, Pickens County GA, Floyd County GA, DeKalb County GA, Baraga County MI), cities (San Antonio TX, Perry GA, Sandersville GA, Valdosta GA, Tucson AZ, Atlanta GA), school districts (Birdville ISD TX), transit and water authorities (Sarasota County, Macon Water Authority), and fire/rescue departments (Hillsborough County FL, San Bernardino County CA, Clay County FL). Texas dominates recent activity with TxDOT and TDCJ posting multiple solicitations monthly; California, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri each show regular procurement volume.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's ITB (Solicitation 6100019697, due July 27, 2026) for three rear-ejection brush trailers for solid waste collection; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for a refrigeration trailer with installed Thermo King unit (Solicitation IW240134, due July 24, 2026) and a dry van trailer (Solicitation IW240945, due July 24, 2026); Sarasota County's Quick Quote for a pressure-washing water trailer with dust-abatement pump, 500-gallon tank, and triplex pressure washer pump rated 3 GPM at 2,700 PSI (Solicitation 2026QQ771, due July 17, 2026); the County of Sacramento's RFB for a 35-ton lowboy equipment trailer with air-ride suspension and flip-tail ramps (Solicitation 2026RFB0067, due August 3, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid July 15, 2026); and Palm Beach County's RFQ for a 12,000 GVWR dump trailer posted repeatedly (Solicitations RFQ680260166BB7, BB6, BB3, BB2, and BB1 between June 17 and July 16, 2026, with bid fees inclusive and SBE preferences of 5% when within 10% of low bid). Texas Department of Transportation posted deckover, dump, vacuum excavator, fiber optic splicing, and trailer-mounted sewer jetter solicitations via the Bonfire/Euna platform across Dallas, Fort Worth, and Amarillo districts with compressed timelines. Georgia Water Authority procurement and several county fleet departments sought 10-ton, 16,000-GVWR, and specialized trailers through April 2026. The code shows steady quarter-to-quarter demand across commodity dump trailers (GVWR 12,000–16,000 pounds), specialized equipment and deckover trailers (35+ ton capacity), and purpose-built units for public safety, sanitation, and emergency response. Most awards go to the low responsive and responsible bidder; evaluation criteria typically emphasize price, specifications compliance, warranty, and delivery lead time. No dominant prime contractor emerges from the recent opportunities; many solicitations are open competitive bids.
