UNSPSC 30102300: Profiles

UNSPSC 30102300 Profiles is a Class code covering structural steel components—W-beams, H-piles, I-beams, and related metal structural members—that state and local governments procure for bridge construction, infrastructure projects, and facility maintenance. Recent solicitations show counties and state agencies buying these materials through sealed-bid IFBs, with cost dominating evaluation and delivery to job sites on an F.O.B. destination basis. Greenville County, South Carolina has posted multiple IFBs for W-beams and H-piles destined for bridge-yard work, while the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture solicited I-beams and metal plates for the Illinois State Fair Building and Grounds. The issuing bodies are primarily county transportation or capital-projects departments and state facility-management agencies, though the code sees activity from multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic activity concentrates in South Carolina and Illinois based on recent postings, with Greenville County appearing as a repeat buyer of bridge-structural steel through IFBs #27022 (W-beams, due October 9, 2026) and #27014 (H-piles, due September 3, 2026). Both Greenville County IFBs weight price at 99 percent and responsiveness at 1 percent, require firm 30-day pricing with unit pricing governing extended totals, mandate F.O.B. destination delivery to the Bridge Yard at 98 Camp Road in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and call for three references documenting similar work. The Illinois State Fair procurement (26406AGRBLDG4B52030, April 27, 2026 due date) covered eight I-beams at $375 per unit and two metal plates at $450 per unit with 30-day delivery terms and a total contract value of $3,900. Bidders typically must provide proof of manufacturer authorization, maintain general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and submit W-9 forms; Performance and Payment Bonds equal to contract value are required in bridge-work contexts.
