UNSPSC 30103614: Steel plate joist

UNSPSC 30103614 Steel plate joist is a Commodity code that in state and local practice captures mobile welding and on-site metal fabrication services for equipment repair and maintenance, though the code's nominal title does not reflect the breadth of welding-services work actually being solicited. State and local governments use this code to acquire on-site and mobile welding labor, consumables, and related metal-working services — shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, metal cutting, brazing, and soldering performed across multiple positions. Issuing bodies include county departments (particularly solid-waste and fleet-maintenance operations), which contract for emergency and routine repairs to heavy equipment including roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, excavators, and stationary cranes. Contracts are typically structured as unit-priced three-year agreements with annual CPI adjustments, mandatory insurance (Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, Professional Liability, and Cyber Liability with A.M. Best minimums), and response-time commitments (four-hour service call response during business hours, 24-hour emergency repair completion). Warranty and defect-correction obligations are standard.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00389 for mobile welding and fabrication services on August 26, 2026, with bids due September 16, 2026, covering on-site equipment repair at its Solid Waste Management Department South County Facility locations under a three-year, $207,429.10 contract. This represents the primary recent state and local activity under the code; a second record for the Texas Workforce Commission labeled with this code appears to describe IT infrastructure and workforce-system implementation services unrelated to steel plate or welding work, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than representative activity.
