UNSPSC 30103200: Grating

UNSPSC 30103200 Grating, a Class code, encompasses precast concrete and fabricated steel components used by state and local governments for infrastructure repair, replacement, and construction—most commonly cattle guards, bridge decking systems, boardwalk and pedestrian structures, guardrails, and water treatment facility components. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, county governments, universities, utilities, and school systems buying under this code for concrete cattle guards, steel truss pedestrian bridges, fiber-reinforced polymer boardwalk materials, stainless steel guardrail repairs, and specialized water treatment filter systems. The issuing bodies span transportation authorities (Nevada DOT, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, Sarasota County), state parks and recreation departments (California), municipal utilities (West Basin Municipal Water District, New Smyrna Beach Utilities), county governments (Chatham County Georgia, Sarasota County), and special-purpose districts (Texas A&M University System).

Recent opportunities show sustained activity across the western and southeastern United States, with particular concentration in California, Nevada, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the State of Nevada Purchasing Division seeking precast concrete cattle guards with a due date of August 25, 2026 (IFB 80DOTS3945); the California Department of Parks and Recreation soliciting fiber-reinforced polymer composite boardwalk materials with a due date of July 1, 2026 (IFB S25683109); Sarasota County requesting bids for a steel truss pedestrian bridge on Midnight Pass Road with a due date of July 20, 2026 (IFB 262861MN); and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority procuring systemwide sign panel fabrication and installation across twelve counties with a due date of July 9, 2026 (ITB RR-26-2050). Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: Nevada offers 5% preference to Nevada-based producers and service-connected disabled veteran-owned businesses; California applies up to 15% combined socioeconomic preference for small and disabled veteran businesses; and Illinois requires DBE and VOSB participation goals alongside 4% state business preference for registered Illinois firms. Most solicitations use electronic procurement portals and require pre-bid conferences or site visits, with typical response periods of thirty to sixty days.
