UNSPSC 78101802: Regional or national trucking services

UNSPSC 78101802, Regional or national trucking services, is a Commodity-tier code that covers pickup, transport, and delivery of freight, vehicles, and equipment across multi-state or statewide routes. State and local governments procure under this code for vehicle transport between facilities, emergency courier services for time-sensitive materials, container and heavy-equipment transport, vanpool operations, and freight logistics for surplus property and supplies. The work ranges from dedicated line-haul carriers moving multiple vehicles daily to specialized temperature-controlled transport of medical supplies and vaccines, and from equipment recovery and towing to large-parcel and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight services for parts and cargo.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Facilities Commission, Texas Department of Transportation, Nevada Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Public Health, California Department of Water Resources), county governments and transportation authorities (Pinellas County School District, Monroe County, Orange County Transportation Authority, Pinal County Air Quality Control District), and municipalities (City of Austin). Texas dominates recent activity, with multiple concurrent solicitations from TxDOT, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Geographic spread also includes California, Nevada, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0023390 for vehicle transport services from Austin to Georgetown (bids due July 31, 2026, requiring VetHUB subcontracting plans and a five-year contract through August 2031), Texas Facilities Commission's open-enrollment RFQ 0009955 for nationwide surplus property freight transport to Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth (proposals due August 7, 2026, with 286 prior loads and roughly $667,927 in historical awards), Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for 24/7 towing and recovery with a $70,000 annual value (bids due July 29, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP 638 for paratransit and demand-response transportation throughout the county (proposals due July 21, 2026, with commencement October 1, 2026).
