UNSPSC 26111523: Backstops

UNSPSC 26111523 Backstops is a Commodity code that in practice covers structural support and reinforcement products used in heavy industrial construction and infrastructure projects. Recent state and local solicitations show backstops and related bracing systems being procured as components within larger design-build and facility reconstruction efforts. The code captures backstops as discrete product lines within integrated project delivery structures rather than as standalone procurement categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include special-purpose districts and county governments managing waste-to-energy facilities, parks infrastructure, and municipal facilities. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County and DeKalb County appear as recent buyers, indicating activity among mid-to-large regional authorities managing capital construction and renovation projects.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia based on recent state and local opportunities. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County issued RFEI 27501JH in September 2026 for a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility demolition, design, build, operation and maintenance project with a Letter of Interest due November 18, 2026, and an informational conference scheduled for October 21, 2026. DeKalb County, Georgia posted ITB 2026-076-ITB in June 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park, Decatur, with bids due July 13, 2026. Both opportunities involve site-specific infrastructure work where backstops and structural bracing would integrate into broader facility systems. No other states showed recent backstop-specific solicitation activity in the source data.
