UNSPSC 73161516: Lifting or hoisting or conveying equipment manufacture services

UNSPSC 73161516 Lifting or hoisting or conveying equipment manufacture services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure equipment-manufacturing and equipment-replacement services for emergency response, municipal infrastructure, and operational support. Recent opportunities show demand for sandbagging machines for emergency preparedness, pump-station grinder replacement and installation, forklift procurement and maintenance, aerial lift and hoisting equipment service contracts, and specialized spray equipment for agricultural departments. Issuing bodies span county emergency management offices, water resources departments, public works departments, state departments of agriculture, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work involves both capital procurement (purchase of new or replacement equipment) and ongoing maintenance and inspection services delivered on an as-needed or task-order basis.

Activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Rhode Island, and Kentucky, with secondary presence in Florida and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Solano, California, Department of Sheriff's Office requesting proposals for a sandbagging machine system due November 2, 2026 (RFP); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issuing sealed bids for Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station Grinders Replacements due November 20, 2026 (IFB); the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases conducting open enrollment for a Master Price Agreement covering repair, service, and maintenance of aerial lifts, bucket trucks, construction cranes, and forklifts, closing June 2, 2026; and Floyd County Board of Commissioners in Georgia soliciting sealed bids for a 6,000-pound capacity forklift due May 19, 2026 (ITB). Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued a multi-state RFP for law enforcement equipment closing June 16, 2026, available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada. A secondary cluster of activity involves state procurement of agricultural spraying equipment, with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Agriculture issuing multiple RFBs for complete sprayer systems in May 2026.
