UNSPSC 30103206: Plastic grating

UNSPSC 30103206 Plastic grating is a Commodity code covering fiberglass and reinforced-polymer grating panels supplied to state and local governments for infrastructure repair, pedestrian safety, and industrial access applications. State and local buyers under this code include city solid-waste and environmental divisions and state departments of transportation. The work involves supply of cut-to-specification pultruded or molded grating panels in standard T-bar or similar structural profiles, with anti-skid surface treatments, UV inhibition, fire ratings, and fastening hardware for concrete or steel attachment. Specifications emphasize corrosion resistance, drainage performance, and durability in outdoor and heavy-traffic environments. Solicitation vehicles include RFQ and RFP; most award contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting pass-fail technical criteria. Vendors must typically provide proof of insurance, product warranties, and technical documentation prior to award, and must absorb shipping and freight into quoted or bid prices on an FOB Destination basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Florida. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued multiple RFPs in May 2026 for fiberglass grating panels (DURAGRID Series T-1700 T-Bar pultruded material) to repair the Merrick Avenue Walkway pedestrian bridge over M-10 in Wayne County, Detroit, with a May 19, 2026 response deadline and total contract value of $88,060; GFG Supply Inc. of The Villages, Florida was recommended for award. In September 2026, the City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division issued RFQ 26P00536 for fiberglass grating to replace steel grating at McKay Bay (trench-system application), with a September 1, 2026 due date and quote submission through the OpenGov platform. Both procurements require delivery within specified timeframes and compliance with state or municipal compliance, insurance, and employment-verification standards.
