UNSPSC 78101606: Rail boxcar or cargo car leasing service

Lease or rental of railcars for the storage and or transport of cargo

UNSPSC 78101606 Rail boxcar or cargo car leasing service is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent solicitation. The most recent opportunities in the source do not align with rail boxcar or cargo car leasing — instead they reflect school bus leasing, shuttle bus services, charter transportation, heavy equipment rentals, and related vehicle services across multiple jurisdictions and agencies. The Illinois School for the Visually Impaired renewed a school bus lease with Midwest Bus Sales for $68,410.32 annually (February 2026), the Illinois School for the Deaf solicited a 66-passenger school bus lease (February 2026), and several municipal and district transit authorities requested shuttle and charter bus services, but none of these transactions involve rail freight equipment or boxcar leasing as the code describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Illinois (Chicago Community Colleges, state schools), Florida (Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Broward County, Seminole County schools), Texas (Houston, Fort Worth, Tucson, Albuquerque), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia Parks & Recreation). Bus leasing and vehicle rental dominate procurement under this code designation in the recent opportunities block, suggesting either tagging misalignment or a market shift away from rail boxcar leasing at the state and local level. Business development professionals should verify whether the code assignment reflects actual procurement intent or represents a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' systems before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 78101606.
