UNSPSC 24101618: Pipe layer

UNSPSC 24101618 Pipe layer, a Commodity code, nominally describes workers who lay pipe; however, recent state and local solicitations under this code do not align with that scope. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Juvenile Justice Department have posted equipment procurements—scissorlifts and dock lift equipment—that fall outside the traditional pipe-laying work category. This code appears to see minimal recent state and local activity, and the available opportunities represent equipment acquisitions rather than labor services or pipe installation work.

Texas state agencies account for the posted opportunities identified under this code in 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW252869 on June 29, 2026, requesting bids on two scissorlifts with a response deadline of July 3, 2026, through the Bonfire procurement portal; the Texas Juvenile Justice Department issued IFB FY26BWDDOCKLIFT on April 14, 2026, for a dock lift with 560/48 capacity specification and a bid deadline of April 21, 2026. Neither solicitation discloses contract value, detailed technical specifications, equipment quantities, or evaluation criteria in the available documentation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the equipment-focused recent solicitations suggests either a data-entry error in the categorization or limited actual activity under this Commodity code for state and local procurement purposes.
