About UNSPSC 78111802
UNSPSC 78111802 Scheduled bus services is a Commodity code for demand-response paratransit and fixed-route transit operations that state and local governments buy to serve transportation-disadvantaged and general-population riders. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, transit authorities, and state health agencies procuring services ranging from athletics-event transportation to emergency evacuation shuttles to long-term paratransit networks. Monroe County, Florida; Pinal County Air Quality Control District; Howard County Board of Education; and the Illinois Department of Public Health are among recent buyers, with RFPs and ITBs targeting service start dates in fall 2026 or spring 2027. Work spans scheduled and demand-response operations with ADA compliance, 24/7 availability in some cases, temperature-controlled vaccine transport, employee vanpool management, and specialized equipment like accessible school buses and emergency communication systems. Contractors typically operate fleets of 3–1,000 vehicles, respond to dispatch calls within 15–30 minutes, maintain insurance with combined liability limits of $1–2 million, and meet state background-screening and E-Verify requirements.
Geographic activity centers on Texas (multiple HHSC health-agency procurements), Florida (Monroe County, Pinellas County School District), Illinois (emergency courier services), Arizona (Pinal County vanpool operations), and Maryland (Howard County Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include Monroe County's RFP 638 for paratransit services with proposals due July 21, 2026, the Illinois Department of Public Health emergency courier RFP for vaccine transport with proposals due August 18, 2026, Howard County's IFB 118.26.B1 for athletics bus service due June 29, 2026, and Pinal County Air Quality Control District's RFP 265831 for vanpool operations management due June 24, 2026. Pricing structures vary from fixed-cost-per-mile for rural paratransit to hourly moving-crew rates for university transportation pools to monthly vehicle-lease bundles for commuter vanpools. Most contracts carry terms of one year with renewal options and annual price adjustments tied to CPI or fuel-cost indices. Activity reflects steady demand for labor-intensive, compliance-heavy transit operations with recurring procurement cycles driven by contract expiration and service-area expansion.
