UNSPSC 78101803: Vehicle carrier services

UNSPSC 78101803 Vehicle carrier services is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of freight transportation, towing, and specialized vehicle movement services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing emergency courier transport, vanpool operations, equipment towing and recovery, large parcel and heavy freight shipping, vehicle transport between facilities, and dockless vehicle fleet deployment and management. The code spans both routine logistics (regular freight movements, bulk material hauling) and specialized operations (temperature-controlled vaccine transport, 24/7 emergency towing with same-day vehicle staging, paratransit for mobility-disadvantaged populations).

State departments, counties, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts all solicit under this code. Texas agencies—including the Department of Public Safety, Parks and Wildlife, Health and Human Services Commission, and Department of Transportation—appear frequently, alongside Michigan's Department of Natural Resources, Pinellas County Schools and Fire Rescue in Florida, Nevada's Department of Corrections and Transportation, Illinois Department of Public Health, Pinal County Air Quality Control District in Arizona, and Orange County Transportation Authority in California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB for vehicle transport services from Austin to Georgetown (response due July 31, 2026, approximately six vehicles per day Monday–Friday with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan), Texas Facilities Commission's RFQ for freight transportation serving surplus-property warehouses in Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth across the continental United States (open-enrollment awarded vehicle pool with 286 existing loads valued at $667,927.37 as of September 2025; proposals due August 7, 2026), Pinellas County Schools' sealed-bid solicitation for 24/7 towing and recovery with four service locations and an estimated annual value of $70,000 (bids due July 29, 2026), and Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ for LTL and heavy-parcel freight serving bus parts shipments from Santa Ana and Livermore to Louisville, Kentucky ($18,000 one-year contract; quotes due March 30, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, Michigan, Nevada, Illinois, and Arizona, with the code showing steady procurement across state agencies, county operations, and transit systems nationwide.
