UNSPSC 30103615: Plate girder

A riveted or welded steel girder having a deep vertical web plate with a pair of angles along each edge to act as compression and tension flanges.

UNSPSC 30103615 Plate girder is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under it diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on August 26, 2026 for mobile welding and fabrication services — labor, equipment, and materials for on-site repairs to solid waste management equipment including roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, excavators, and stationary cranes, not structural plate girder procurement or fabrication. A second opportunity from the Texas Workforce Commission (posted June 24, 2026) covers IT infrastructure modernization and workforce system implementation, entirely unrelated to structural steel or welding. The code shows no recent activity actually soliciting plate girder products or services as the taxonomy title suggests.

The Hillsborough County opportunity, ITB 2600389, represents the sole concrete state and local procurement signal under this code in the recent block. The three-year contract is estimated at $207,429.10 and requires response by September 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Work encompasses shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, metal heating, cutting, brazing, and soldering in all positions, with four-hour response times during business hours and 24-hour emergency repair completion. The contractor furnishes labor, tools, and materials except county-designated line items, and must carry Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), Workers' Compensation, Professional Liability ($1 million per claim), and Cyber Liability ($1 million minimum). A one-year warranty on all repairs and components is required. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual solicitations suggests that either the code has been applied inconsistently in recent procurement filings or this UNSPSC category sees limited genuine plate girder activity at state and local levels.
