UNSPSC 25181718: Cable reel trailer

A trailer with one or more reels installed to facilitate laying or retrieving telephone or power wires or cables.

UNSPSC 25181718 Cable reel trailer is a Commodity code with sparse recent activity focused on mobile service and operational equipment rather than cable reel trailers specifically. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a wide range of specialized trailer types—pressure washing trailers, refrigeration units, dump trailers, enclosed cargo trailers for firefighter gear, command post trailers, surveillance equipment trailers, and equipment haulers—but none explicitly address cable reel trailers. The code appears to span specialized mobile units with integrated systems and operational functions, though the actual solicitations diverge significantly from the nominal code scope. Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri dominate recent activity, with issuing bodies including state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation), county governments (Sarasota County, Sacramento County, Palm Beach County, DeKalb County, Hillsborough County), cities (San Antonio, Perry, Atlanta), water authorities (Macon Water Authority), and special-purpose districts (Sourcewell cooperative).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's IFB for three rear ejection horizontal discharge brush trailers for solid waste (response due July 27, 2026), Sarasota County's Quick Quote for a pressure washing water trailer with dust abatement feature (due July 17, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for a refrigeration trailer with Thermo King unit (due July 24, 2026), Sacramento County's RFB for a 35-ton lowboy equipment trailer with air-ride suspension and flip-tail ramps (due August 3, 2026), and Palm Beach County's RFQ for a 12,000-GVWR dump trailer (due July 16–17, 2026). The code shows no recent activity in cable reel trailers; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect to bid on specialized mobile equipment with integrated mechanical or electrical systems rather than simple cable handling devices, and should monitor Texas transportation and procurement channels and county solid-waste and fleet management divisions for the highest concentration of near-term opportunities.
