UNSPSC 78111810: Limousine or town car service

Transportation service using limousines and other luxury vehicles

UNSPSC 78111810 Limousine or town car service is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify charter transportation services, though the actual market spans far beyond sedan-level town cars to include full-scale bus charter operations, shuttle services, vanpool programs, and specialized transportation for schools, universities, state agencies, and public authorities. Recent solicitations show heavy demand for multi-passenger charter buses (40- to 56-seat capacity), demand-responsive transit shuttles, airport and event transportation, student field-trip services, and athletic team travel, with pricing structures built on hourly rates, per-mile charges, daily flat fees, and fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies are diverse and distributed across state universities (Texas A&M, University of Texas at Dallas, Georgia College, Valdosta State, Sam Houston State, UT Health), county governments (Sarasota, Seminole, Okaloosa in Florida; Jackson in Missouri; Boulder in Colorado), cities (Detroit, Albuquerque, Fort Worth, Schaumburg), independent school districts (Stockton Unified, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos, Collin County Community College), regional transit authorities (Trinity Metro, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and specialized state agencies including the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Health and Human Services Commission. The mix skews heavily toward educational institutions and public transit operators seeking reliable vendors for recurring or seasonal needs.

Geographic spread centers on Texas (Texas A&M, UT Dallas, UT San Antonio, TSBVI, Texas Woman's University, Trinity Metro, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos), Florida (Sarasota County, Seminole County, Okaloosa County, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), Georgia (Georgia College, Valdosta State, Middle Georgia State, Atlanta Regional Commission), and Colorado (Boulder County), with additional recent activity in California (Stockton Unified, Ivy Preparatory Academy), Illinois (Chicago area, Schaumburg), Missouri (Jackson County), New Mexico (Albuquerque), and Wisconsin (Kenosha County). Representative recent opportunities include Stockton Unified School District's RFQ for comprehensive charter transportation services (posted June 30, 2026; response deadline June 25, 2026), Texas A&M University's ITB for a pool of bus charter services vendors (posted July 10, 2026; due July 31, 2026), Collin County Community College District's ITB for charter bus services supporting athletic teams and clubs with a three-year term (posted July 7, 2026; response deadline May 14, 2024 — marked as historical), University of Texas at Dallas's RFP for chartered transportation services across athletics, field trips, and professional chauffeured services with proposals due May 22, 2026, and Trinity Metro's RFP for fixed-route and on-demand services in Fort Worth's CentrePort area (posted March 11, 2026; due April 9, 2026). Insurance requirements are consistent across solicitations—typically $1 million to $5 million in general liability and automobile liability per occurrence—with driver qualifications, background checks, and vehicle age (usually five to eight years maximum) forming standard thresholds. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options, and many solicitations explicitly encourage small business and minority-vendor participation or allow multiple awards to build vendor pools.
