UNSPSC 30102904: Wooden posts

UNSPSC 30102904 Wooden posts, a Commodity code, covers pressure-treated and raw timber posts and lumber components for infrastructure and facility applications, though the recent opportunities tracked under this code reflect a substantial mismatch with the code's nominal scope. Gwinnett County Financial Services (Georgia) posted an Informal Written Quotation on June 11, 2026 seeking pressure-treated pine lumber, premium SPF framing materials, plywood sheathing, wood trim, and fasteners delivered to the Department of Transportation, with quotes due June 18, 2026. However, the predominant recent activity in the dataset consists of steel guardrail products, guardrail installation services, and guardrail components—none of which involve wooden posts. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts issued bids for galvanized steel guardrail products delivered (FY27-05, April 16, 2026 closing) and guardrail installation services (FY27-06, April 2, 2026 closing), neither involving wooden materials. The Oregon Department of Transportation solicited milling and fabrication of timber guardrail components for a historic highway project (ITB S-73000-00015884, March 17, 2026 closing), which does involve timber but frames the work as specialized heritage preservation rather than routine post supply.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county public works divisions, regional purchasing cooperatives, and school districts. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, Massachusetts, and Oregon, with secondary Georgia activity through DeKalb County Public Works (March 10, 2026 on-call guardrail repair RFQ) and Florida through Hillsborough County Public Schools (May 4, 2026 ITB for fencing materials inventory including posts and related components). The code exhibits weak alignment with actual recent solicitations; most postings target guardrail steel and fabrication services rather than wooden posts for general use. The Gwinnett County opportunity and the ODOT timber-guardrail project represent the only two opportunities with meaningful wooden-post or timber content, and both are specialty applications rather than high-volume commodity supply. Pursue only if your firm has established capabilities in pressure-treated lumber supply or heritage-specification timber fabrication with transportation-sector relationships.
