UNSPSC 12131700: Igniters

UNSPSC 12131700 Igniters is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement covers pavement rehabilitation, roadway safety barrier installation, and asphalt resurfacing work — not explosives or pyrotechnic devices as the code name might suggest. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily counties and their transportation departments, which solicit general construction contractors for comprehensive roadway projects that bundle labor, materials, and equipment across multiple disciplines including asphalt placement, concrete work, guardrail installation, traffic signal and striping work, and site drainage improvements. The work is contracted through sealed-bid processes (IFB notices) with mandatory pre-bid conferences common when site conditions or complex specifications warrant contractor review before bidding.

Santa Clara County, California has posted multiple infrastructure projects under this code, most recently the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) encompassing partial-depth recycling, hot-mix asphalt overlay, PCC curb and gutter installation, ADA access improvements, and traffic signal modifications across a 142 working-day schedule, and the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (ITB ITBRDAFY260652, due April 23, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid on April 14, 2026) calling for removal and replacement of guardrails, concrete barriers, crash cushions, and thermoplastic striping on a 45 working-day timeline. Barrow County, Georgia solicited similar work under the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant program for the Wynn Lake Road resurfacing project (ITB PE77075NONST2026000000014, due March 18, 2026) covering approximately 2.56 miles of patching, recycled asphalt concrete resurfacing, and striping with a 210 calendar-day completion window. Recent activity clusters in California and Georgia; sealed bids are submitted in physical form to county clerks' offices, and no set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions are noted in the available documentation.
