UNSPSC 11121604: Soft timber

UNSPSC 11121604 Soft timber is a Commodity code that encompasses lumber and timber materials used in construction, infrastructure repair, and site restoration projects. State and local governments procure soft timber under this code primarily as a component of larger construction and repair efforts rather than as a standalone material purchase. Recent solicitations show soft timber being specified within boardwalk, dock, and pedestrian infrastructure projects where the material serves critical structural or decking functions. Orange County, Florida's Horizon West Trail - Phase 1A project (sealed bid, due August 13, 2026, estimated value $5,657,322) includes timber specifications as part of a comprehensive multi-use trail and boardwalk construction, while Collier County's Clam Pass Park Hurricane Ian Repairs project (sealed bid, due May 22, 2026, base bid $2,500,000) explicitly calls for approximately 35,200 square feet of boardwalk replacement and 10,000 linear feet of new Ipe deck boards as a bid alternate. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut's Pleasure Beach Park Boardwalk project (sealed bid, closed September 24, 2024) required boardwalk and decking materials as part of ADA-compliant pedestrian infrastructure.

County governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Orange County and Collier County in Florida appearing repeatedly in the recent record, along with smaller municipalities in Connecticut and Georgia. Florida and Connecticut show the highest concentration of recent soft-timber solicitation activity, driven by hurricane recovery work and coastal infrastructure maintenance. Representative opportunities beyond those listed above include the Collier County Sheriff's Office Marco Substation Floating Dock project (sealed bid, due February 23, 2026, base bid $500,000), which specifies wood framing materials as an optional alternate for marine construction. Soft timber procurement under this code typically appears embedded in larger capital projects valued in the millions; standalone timber material purchases are not prominently represented in recent state and local solicitations reviewed.
