UNSPSC 72154501: Heavy equipment maintenance and repair service

Inspection, maintenance, repair or monitor heavy equipment at location

UNSPSC 72154501 Heavy equipment maintenance and repair service is a Commodity code covering preventative maintenance, corrective repairs, emergency response, and parts supply for construction, material handling, and specialized operational equipment across state agencies, county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations reflect work on scissor lifts and boom lifts for state facilities, forklifts and pallet jacks for emergency services, cemetery equipment including excavators and tractors, waste management portable generators and light towers, and heavy construction equipment such as wheel loaders, backhoes, and motor graders. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (California DGS, CalVet, Cal OES, Missouri Department of Transportation, California Department of Education), counties (Orange County, Tuolumne County, DeKalb County), cities (Tucson, Detroit, Pittsburgh), transit and water authorities (NTMWD), and municipalities (Brookfield Connecticut). California state agencies appear as repeat buyers, with multiple lift maintenance and cemetery equipment solicitations posted within the past four months.

Geographic activity centers on California, where the State of California DGS has solicited statewide lift certification and maintenance across three regions (High North and Northern, Bay and Central, LA Metro/LA East/Southern) under IFB 25-307507 with bids due October 27, 2026, and the California Department of Veterans Affairs has solicited cemetery equipment maintenance at Seaside and cemetery operations at Igo. Representative recent opportunities include the Orange County, California IFB for heavy equipment rental with operator services (grading, excavation, flood control channel maintenance) due April 27, 2026 with a three-year contract cap of $2.775 million and a five percent local small business preference; the North Texas Municipal Water District RFB for annual lifting equipment inspections and maintenance across nine counties due May 14, 2026 covering approximately 247 pieces at 23 facilities; and the Detroit Department of Transportation RFQ for body frame straightening machine preventative maintenance and repair due May 15, 2026. Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: California lift contracts carry three percent DVBE minimums with incentives up to five percent and five percent small business preferences; Cal OES restricted one material handling equipment maintenance solicitation to certified small businesses only; and the Orange County equipment rental IFB includes five percent preference for Orange County Local Small Businesses. Contract terms typically run three to five years with renewal options, and pricing is structured as hourly or daily labor rates plus parts allowances or percentage discounts from manufacturer retail pricing.
