UNSPSC 30103208: Wood grating

Used to protect an opening to hide the internal part.

UNSPSC 30103208 Wood grating is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure structural grating materials for pedestrian infrastructure, pedestrian bridges, and walkway safety applications. Recent activity shows purchasing agencies acquiring fiberglass grating panels—specifically pultruded composite materials with anti-skid surfaces, UV inhibitors, and fire-retardant properties—rather than traditional wood products. The Michigan Department of Transportation's Merrick Avenue Walkway pedestrian bridge project in Detroit demonstrates the actual scope: supply of 70 individual grating panels in multiple size configurations with fastening hardware for concrete attachment, all delivered as material-only supply with installation performed by the agency's in-house maintenance forces. Issuing bodies under this code include state transportation departments; no county, city, school district, or special-purpose district activity appears in recent records.

Michigan dominates recent solicitation activity for this code. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) posted three overlapping RFP notices for the Merrick Avenue Walkway grating project between May 5 and May 26, 2026, with a May 19, 2026 proposal deadline and subsequent Intent to Award issued May 26, 2026. The first RFP (posted May 5, 2026) sought DURAGRID Series T-1700 T-Bar fiberglass grating with UV-inhibited polyester resin, Class 1 flame rating, bonded anti-skid surface, and light gray bearing bars; a May 13, 2026 amendment addressed panel width specifications and established functional equivalence between standard and specified widths. GFG Supply Inc. of The Villages, Florida was recommended for award at $88,060, passing all five evaluation criteria (confidential treatment form submission, vendor question responses, standard terms agreement, specified brand and model confirmation, and Schedule A completion) on a pass-fail basis, while competing bidder Swipe Resources LLC of Manassas, Virginia failed due to incomplete responses. No set-aside or preference programs applied to the award, though the RFP noted that qualified Disabled Veteran-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business entities may receive preference consideration under Michigan law.
