UNSPSC 30103209: Grating cover

Cover put on the grating to keep it from bad odor and being slippery

UNSPSC 30103209 Grating cover is a Commodity code representing structural fiberglass grating panels and covers that state and local governments procure for pedestrian walkways, bridges, and similar infrastructure requiring slip-resistant, weather-resistant surfacing. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is the primary recent buyer under this code, soliciting fiberglass grating material through RFPs for the Merrick Avenue Walkway pedestrian bridge spanning M-10 in Wayne County, Detroit. The work involves supply of pultruded fiberglass panels in multiple size configurations, fastening hardware, and related installation materials; MDOT handles installation in-house with its maintenance forces. Specifications typically require UV-inhibited polyester resin, Class 1 flame rating, anti-skid surface treatment, and light gray coloring to meet outdoor climate durability and safety standards. No set-aside or preference restrictions apply to most opportunities, though the source indicates qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business entities may receive preference consideration under Michigan state law.

The recent activity concentrates in Michigan, specifically within MDOT's Detroit Transportation Service Center. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued three closely related RFP notices between May 5 and May 13, 2026, all for the same Merrick Avenue project, with a response deadline of May 19, 2026. The Intent to Award notice dated May 26, 2026, identified GFG Supply Inc. of The Villages, Florida as the recommended responsive and responsible bidder with a contract value of $88,060 covering five fiberglass panels. Individual panel pricing ranged from $2,760 to $65,808. Delivery is required within 42 calendar days of order to the MDOT Operations Field Services location in Lansing, with restricted delivery windows Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Contractors using their own vehicles must provide commercial general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), automobile liability insurance ($1 million per accident), and workers' compensation coverage with the State named as additional insured.
