UNSPSC 78000000: Transportation and Storage and Mail Services

This segment includes services associated with cargo and personal transportation.

UNSPSC 78000000 Transportation and Storage and Mail Services is a Segment code under which state and local governments procure a diverse range of transportation, logistics, communications, and related support services. Recent opportunities show procurement spanning communications consulting, event equipment rental, surveying services, advertising campaigns, hazardous materials testing, graphic design and marketing support, fuel delivery, herbicide application, international sales representation, specialized transportation (shuttle operations, towing), and public outreach coordination — a broad mix reflecting the code's wide scope across transportation logistics, third-party service delivery, and communications infrastructure rather than capital equipment acquisition alone.

The issuing bodies under this code span multiple jurisdiction types: county departments and transportation authorities (Orange County OC Community Resources, OC Public Works, OC Waste & Recycling; Tuolumne County Public Works; County of Santa Clara; Frederick County Maryland; Military Installation Development Authority Utah), state agencies (Colorado State Patrol, Connecticut DEEP, Oregon State Fire Marshal, Kentucky Commonwealth Cabinet, Colorado Community College System), cities (Santa Monica, Phoenix, Palm Bay, Dallas, Milpitas, Wichita, West Sacramento, Owensboro), transit operators (Orange County Transportation Authority), school districts (Temple ISD, Anne Arundel County Public Schools), and specialized districts (Monroe County Tourist Development Council, Hillsborough County 13th Judicial Circuit). Geographic concentration of recent activity appears strongest in California (Tuolumne, Orange, Santa Clara counties; Santa Monica, Milpitas, West Sacramento, Palm Bay cities) and the Southwest (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland), with scattered activity across Connecticut and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the County of Orange OC Community Resources' IFB for special event rental equipment (63 line items, canopies through sound systems, on-call basis, October 23, 2026 response), Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for State Route 55 public outreach services ($2,359,750 five-year time-and-expense contract, August 25 response), the Colorado State Patrol's sole-source television advertising for DUI prevention ($120,000 three-year, October 12 approval), and Tuolumne County's RFP for bulk fuel and lubricant delivery services (multiple facilities, pricing differential-based, October 23 response).
