UNSPSC 78110000: Passenger transport

UNSPSC 78110000 Passenger transport is a Family code purchasing non-emergency and emergency passenger movement services across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy scheduled and demand-responsive transit operations, including fixed-route and paratransit shuttle services, school bus transportation, charter bus logistics, elevator and lift maintenance at transit facilities, emergency courier and logistics support, and vehicle-to-infrastructure safety systems for transit fleets. The issuing bodies are diverse: county transportation departments, municipal transit authorities (including regional authorities spanning multiple counties), school districts, state departments, and specialized entities like airport authorities and military installation development agencies. No single issuing body dominates the recent solicitations; instead, demand is distributed across regional transit operators (Broward County Transportation Department, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority), county school systems (Orange County, Pinellas County, Bibb County), and state agencies (Nevada, Oregon, Michigan, Illinois). The work spans peak operational seasons and multi-year contract cycles, with many covering three-year initial terms and optional renewal periods.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, with standout solicitations in Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Utah, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Broward County Transportation Department issuing an RFP for transit shelters and amenities (FTA-funded, responses due October 23, 2026), the County of Orange, California issuing an RFP for senior non-emergency medical transportation services across three service areas totaling $5.506 million in planning estimates (responses due October 23, 2026), the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority establishing a pool of qualified shuttle bus operators for planned and emergency service disruptions with an estimated total contract value of approximately $120 million across multiple awarded vendors (proposals due November 4, 2026), and Park City Municipal Corporation in Utah requesting proposals for Vehicle-to-Everything communication equipment installation on a 39-vehicle transit fleet (proposals due October 1, 2026). Activity also includes school transportation and courier services: Bibb County Public Schools soliciting charter bus services for approximately 21,000 student trips (proposals due September 7, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Public Health procuring emergency statewide courier and logistical transportation services (proposals due November 14, 2026). The code shows consistent procurement volume across demand-responsive medical and senior transport, fixed-route and paratransit operations, equipment and safety system deployment, and specialized logistics support.
