UNSPSC 30101803: Iron channels

UNSPSC 30101803 Iron channels (Commodity) covers structural steel shapes and components used in construction projects, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of metal materials procurement. State and local governments acquiring under this code include city capital delivery departments, county engineering offices, and public universities. The City of San Antonio Capital Delivery Department appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting construction services on multiple 2022 Bond-funded projects that reference structural shapes and metal components as applicable product categories. Work solicited under the code includes structural steel procurement for bridge construction, pedestrian infrastructure, and facility replacement projects, as well as broader metals sourcing (steel, aluminum, and stainless steel) for institutional operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The City of San Antonio posted two competitive sealed proposals (RFCSP2026025 for Hays Street Bridge Connections & Eastside Area Streets, due August 25, 2026, and RFCSP2026071 for Fire Station #33 Facility Replacement, due July 30, 2026), while Sarasota County issued an IFB for construction of a steel truss pedestrian bridge on Midnight Pass Road with bids due July 20, 2026. The University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited general metals procurement (steel, aluminum, and stainless steel) through an RFB closing April 20, 2026. Pre-bid conferences, mandatory site visits, and formal Q&A periods are standard across the construction opportunities; the San Antonio projects specify a procurement contact (Jose Narvaez) for written questions and restrict bidder contact with City officials during the evaluation period.
