UNSPSC 78112001: Mixed mode urban and suburban transportation for passengers

UNSPSC 78112001 Mixed mode urban and suburban transportation for passengers (Commodity) encompasses bus transit services, charter transportation, vehicle hauling, and related mobility operations that state and local governments procure to move people and freight. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show public bodies acquiring fleet transit services, specialized vehicle transport, emergency mobility logistics, and dockless vehicle operations rather than the single-mode transit infrastructure the code name might suggest. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bibb County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District), city transportation departments (Broward County Transportation Department), state departments (Illinois Department of Public Health, Texas Department of Public Safety, Michigan Department of Natural Resources), and regional planning agencies (Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency). Transit shelters and field trip transportation dominate school-district activity; vehicle transport and emergency logistics appear across state and municipal procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Broward County, Pinellas County, Clay County, Seminole County), Texas (Austin, Waco, DPS, TxDOT), Michigan (DNR), and Illinois (IDPH), with scattered activity in Nevada, Georgia, and South Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include Broward County Transportation Department's solicitation (ITB TRN2133001B1, closed October 23, 2026) for transit shelters and amenities with FTA Buy America certification requirements and an initial one-year contract term with three optional renewals; Bibb County Public Schools' RFP for charter bus services for approximately 21,000 students covering field trips and athletics (due September 7, 2026, one year with three renewal options); Pinellas County School District's ITB for 24/7 towing and recovery services (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated $70,000 annually) with two optional renewal periods; and Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB for vehicle transport from headquarters in Austin to surplus operations in Georgetown (bids due July 31, 2026, five-year term through August 31, 2031 with six-month extension options). The code also captures the City of San Antonio's split-award RFP for dockless vehicle operations (approximately 1,000 vehicles fleet-wide, proposals due June 30, 2026) and the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency's general planning consultant RFP for traffic operations and trails work in Leon County, Florida (due September 11, 2026). Cost structures vary widely—school transportation by vehicle-type and distance, transit shelter contracts on annual service-fee bases, emergency logistics on per-unit or per-load models—reflecting the operational diversity embedded in this commodity code.
