UNSPSC 78101803: Vehicle carrier services

UNSPSC 78101803 Vehicle carrier services is a Commodity code covering the transportation and logistics of vehicles—including pickup, delivery, and carrier operations—that state and local governments procure for fleet management, emergency response, and specialized mobility needs. Recent solicitations show that state transportation departments, counties, school districts, and specialized state agencies use this code to secure both dedicated carrier contracts and spot-market transportation services for vehicles ranging from standard sedans to specialized equipment and surplus property.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Transportation (state-level transportation and logistics), Pinellas County School District and Bibb County Public Schools (school districts), Seminole County and Clay County in Florida (county environmental and waste-management operations), and specialized state agencies including Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Department of Public Health. Texas dominates recent activity, followed by Florida, Michigan, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0023390 for vehicle transport services from Austin headquarters to Georgetown surplus operations (bids due July 31, 2026), Pinellas County School District's ITB 26-AM-012 for 24/7 towing and recovery services across four county compounds (bids due July 29, 2026), Seminole County's IFB-5302-26/RLH for solid waste hauling and transportation with contractor-supplied or county-supplied equipment (bids due September 16, 2026), and the City of Waco's RFB 2026-032 for landfill leachate hauling to a wastewater treatment plant (bids due August 14, 2026). Contracts typically carry insurance and licensing requirements, performance bonds where thresholds are met, and preference programs including local-vendor preferences and veteran/small-business set-asides where applicable. Contract terms generally run one to five years with optional renewals.
