UNSPSC 30101714: Lead beams

UNSPSC 30101714 Lead beams, a Commodity code, encompasses structural steel and concrete components—including prestressed concrete piles, concrete end bents, and steel structural elements—that state and local governments source for bridge, roadway, and facility construction projects. The code sees solicitation activity from city capital delivery departments, county transportation authorities, and university procurement offices, with issuing bodies posting competitive sealed proposals, invitations for bids, and requests for bids for mixed-scale infrastructure work. Recent opportunities show concrete and steel materials being sourced as part of larger capital projects rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the code appears to capture materials specification within construction RFPs and IFBs rather than dedicated materials procurement solicitations.

San Antonio and Sarasota County dominate recent activity. The City of San Antonio Capital Delivery Department posted two 2022 Bond–funded construction RFPs in June and July 2026—Fire Station #33 Facility Replacement (RFCSP2026071, due July 30, 2026) and Hays Street Bridge Connections & Eastside Area Streets (RFCSP2026025, due August 25, 2026)—both naming concrete beams and structural shapes in their applicable material categories. Sarasota County issued an IFB for the Midnight Pass Road Pedestrian Bridge (262861MN, due July 20, 2026) specifying prestressed concrete piles and concrete end bents as part of the steel truss bridge scope. The University of Wisconsin–Madison posted a metals RFB (2026-UWMSN-01207-RFB, due April 20, 2026) for steel, aluminum, and stainless steel materials; this opportunity is less directly aligned with the lead beams code. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with Wisconsin representing a secondary market. The code shows low dedicated-materials activity; most procurement flows through general construction RFPs where materials are embedded in broader scope rather than as line-item commodity buys.
