UNSPSC 27113100: Pulling tools

UNSPSC 27113100 Pulling tools is a Class code that encompasses mechanical equipment for hauling and traction applications in municipal operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily specialized vehicles and mechanical devices designed to move or pull equipment—in this case, tractors with power-take-off capability for towing vacuum trailers and similar operational gear. The issuing bodies are typically municipal public works and utilities departments tasked with maintenance of sewer, water, and transport infrastructure. The scope includes both new and used equipment acquisitions, with specifications often tied to engine performance, weight capacity, and operational durability standards.

The recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida. The City of Pembroke Pines issued IFB PSUT26QQ03 in August 2026 for a used tractor truck (80,000-pound GVWR) with a Cummins diesel engine and PTO for vacuum trailer operations, with bids due August 27, 2026. The specification requirement for model year 2020–2023 with maximum 250,000 miles, 400-horsepower minimum, tandem-axle configuration, and 40,000-pound rear axle capacity reflects typical municipal standards for heavy-duty utility vehicles. The city required current DOT records, complete maintenance documentation, comprehensive general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), workers' compensation, and auto liability coverage. Delivery was mandated within 60 calendar days of purchase order issuance. No pre-bid meeting was scheduled, and the solicitation did not disclose a contract value.
