UNSPSC 22101907: Trench braces

UNSPSC 22101907 Trench braces is a Commodity code that names temporary shoring and bracing equipment for excavation work, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show limited direct alignment with the nominal scope. The Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA) in South Carolina issued an IFB on May 13, 2026 for a modular aluminum trench shoring system comparable to Pacific Shoring Products or Arcosa Shoring Products, with delivery desired by June 30, 2026—a direct match for the code's scope. The remaining nine recent opportunities in the dataset (corrections-facility renovations, septic-tank retrofit, trail construction, EV charging infrastructure, bridge replacement, residential housing rehabilitation, ambulance-garage repairs, utility relocation, and bore-and-trenching services) are tangentially or not substantively related to trench bracing and appear to have been miscoded or tagged broadly under the Segment or Family level rather than this Commodity. The source shows no additional state or county repetition under this code.

The geographic spread is sparse: only South Carolina (BJWSA's procurement in Beaufort County) shows a directly relevant recent opportunity. The BJWSA IFB for modular trench shoring is the sole representative recent solicitation—an IFB issued May 13, 2026, with bids due May 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT, requesting a complete system with aluminum panels from 2' × 4' to 2' × 10', corner posts 4' to 8' in length, adjustable spreaders, sheet piles, rigging and lifting equipment, and accessories, with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P compliance and engineered load ratings for depths up to 15 feet. The code shows limited recent activity relative to actual procurement volume; most opportunities tagged under higher-tier codes within this family are being pursued elsewhere in the state and local market.
