UNSPSC 22101504: Pile drivers

UNSPSC 22101504 Pile drivers (Commodity) covers marine and heavy-construction foundation work, specifically the procurement and installation of structural steel piles for water-access and infrastructure projects. Recent state and local solicitations show the code in use for marine pile installation work rather than the equipment procurement the abstract code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington Department of Parks and Recreation) and county governments (Santa Clara County) purchasing through competitive sealed-bid processes. The work involves galvanized steel piles, rock socketing, environmental monitoring, construction surveying, and compliance with marine engineering standards including IBC and ANSI/AISC 341 codes, along with federal prevailing wage and protected-species requirements where applicable.

The code shows limited recent activity geographically, with documented solicitations concentrated in California and Washington state. The State of Washington Department of Parks and Recreation issued RFQ NWBC043 (due June 16, 2026) for pile procurement and installation of two 16-inch-diameter galvanized steel piles with 10-foot minimum rock-socket embedment at Sucia Island Marine State Park in San Juan County, Washington, requiring marine mammal and marbled murrelet monitoring, construction surveying, and protected-species suspension activities. Santa Clara County issued IFB ITBRDAFY260559 (due March 5, 2026) for the Red Fox Creek Bridge #37C0172 replacement project, which includes Cast-in-Drilled-Hole pile foundations as part of a broader bridge construction scope. Both solicitations require Class A California contractor licensing (where applicable), prevailing wage compliance, and federal agency coordination including Army Corps of Engineers and NOAA permits. The code appears to capture narrow segments of larger infrastructure and water-access projects rather than standalone pile-driving contracts.
