UNSPSC 78181508: Heavy truck maintenance and repair

UNSPSC 78181508 Heavy truck maintenance and repair, Commodity tier, encompasses the diagnosis, repair, and parts supply services that state and local governments deliver to medium and heavy-duty commercial truck fleets, as well as light-duty truck and specialty vehicle maintenance work across diverse municipal, county, school district, and state agency operations. Recent opportunities show school districts and county governments soliciting ongoing fleet repair contracts with branded dealerships—Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Isuzu, Hino, Mack, and International trucks dominate the scope—where vendors quote hourly labor rates across multiple service categories (transmission, fuel system, drivetrain, exhaust, brake, EGR, body electronics, starting, DEF, and charging systems) on firm pricing structures. State and county entities are the primary issuing bodies, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) appearing repeatedly across multiple vehicle-brand ITQs posted in October 2026, and county transportation and fleet services departments in Louisville, Hillsborough, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority also active. Vendors must typically hold manufacturer certification or dealership authorization, demonstrate three to five years of relevant experience, carry commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and meet E-Verify and Jessica Lunsford Act compliance requirements where applicable.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Texas, Kentucky, and California, with a notable concentration in the Tampa/Hillsborough County area where school districts and county government have issued multiple concurrent ITQs for factory-certified repair services on specific truck brands. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ 26252 for Chevrolet vehicle diagnostics (due July 10, 2026, subsequently extended by addendum), ITQ 26249 for Dodge diagnostics across 1,000-vehicle fleet (due July 7, 2026), and ITQ 26307 for Isuzu and Hino diagnostics (due July 29, 2026); Hillsborough County's notice of intent to award a $250,000 sole-source contract to Nextran Corporation for Mack truck maintenance and parts (October 20, 2026 challenge deadline); Hillsborough County's $4.3 million three-year ITB for Ford vehicle services (due October 16, 2026); and Louisville Metro's price-contract procurement for International truck repairs. Contracts are typically three years or one year with optional renewal, with awards going to lowest responsive responsible bidders meeting certification and capability thresholds, and SBE, MBE, WBE, and DVBE participation encouraged or preferred where applicable.
