UNSPSC 73161515: Office machinery or equipment manufacture services

UNSPSC 73161515 Office machinery or equipment manufacture services, a Commodity code, encompasses equipment assembly, manufacturing, and delivery services that state and local governments procure to fulfill specialized operational and emergency-response missions. Recent state and local solicitations show demand concentrated in emergency-management equipment (sandbagging machines for flood and storm response), water-resource infrastructure (pump station grinder replacements and gate systems), transit infrastructure (bus stop amenities and ADA-compliant landing pads), agricultural equipment (sprayers for chemical application), and general fleet maintenance (forklifts for public works). Issuing bodies span county departments of emergency services, water resources, and public works; state agriculture departments; county transportation authorities; and transit agencies. The code attracts solicitations across multiple jurisdictions but shows no dominant repeat buyer within the recent window.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed. Solano County, California, issued an RFP for a sandbagging machine system with proposals due November 2, 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia, posted two IFB opportunities—one in August (due September 23, 2026) and a revised bid in October (due November 20, 2026)—for grinder-unit and slide-gate replacements at the Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station, with 450-day completion windows and mandatory pre-bid conferences. Broward County, Florida Transportation Department solicited an open-end contract for ADA-compliant bus stop improvements and transit amenities under FTA funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements; proposals were due November 2, 2026, and award will go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder with Florida State General Contractor licensure and three-year initial term.
