UNSPSC 78141500: Transport arranging services

Services that arrange the transport of goods for others

UNSPSC 78141500 Transport arranging services is a Class code that encompasses the logistics coordination, routing, and facilitation of freight movement, equipment hauling, and passenger transportation on behalf of state and local agencies. State and local procurement offices issue opportunities under this code when they need vendors to arrange, coordinate, or execute the physical movement of goods, emergency supplies, vehicles, or people across jurisdictions or between fixed locations. The issuing bodies are diverse, spanning state departments (Nevada, Illinois, Texas, Michigan, Rhode Island), counties (Seminole, Volusia, Clay, Dorchester), cities (Austin, Waco, Huntsville, San Antonio), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Bibb County Public Schools, Westport Public Schools), and special-purpose districts (Broward County Transportation Department, Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency). Repeat activity appears strongest among Texas agencies—the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety, and Parks and Wildlife Department—and among Florida jurisdictions soliciting waste, recyclable material, and container hauling services. Representative recent opportunities include the Broward County Transportation Department's open-end contract for transit shelters and amenities (IFB TRN2133001B1, due October 23, 2026), the District of Columbia's request for field trip transportation services (RFP DOC850351, due October 13, 2026), the Texas Department of Public Safety's vehicle transport services procurement (IFB 405-26R0023390, due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide courier and emergency logistical transportation for public health operations (27482DPHPREPDB53748, due November 14, 2026).

Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Southwest, with Florida, Texas, Michigan, Nevada, and Illinois accounting for most recent solicitations, followed by secondary activity in South Carolina, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Georgia. Work being solicited today ranges from routine waste and recyclable material hauling (Seminole County, Clay County), bulk fuel delivery and fleet logistics (City of Austin, Sourcewell cooperative), emergency disaster response and vaccine distribution (Illinois Department of Public Health, Dorchester County), specialized vehicle and equipment transport (Texas Department of Public Safety, Michigan Department of Natural Resources), charter and field-trip student transportation (Bibb County Schools, District of Columbia, Westport Public Schools), and towing and recovery services for municipal and school fleets (Pinellas County Schools, State of Rhode Island). The code also captures niche movements such as landfill leachate hauling (City of Waco) and dockless vehicle fleet operations (City of San Antonio). Several opportunities reflect emergency or sole-source procurement pathways—the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' sheet piling delivery for causeway collapse repair and Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency statewide courier authorization—signaling that transport arranging services remain mission-critical when standard supply chains fail.
