UNSPSC 30103623: Reinforcing bar or rebar or mesh

UNSPSC 30103623 Reinforcing bar or rebar or mesh is a Commodity code that captures steel reinforcing bars, rods, and mesh used in infrastructure construction and repair projects. State and local governments buy rebar as both a standalone supply item through bid-discount vehicles and as an embedded material component in larger street, sidewalk, and bridge construction and rehabilitation solicitations. Rebar appears across flatwork packages (concrete curbs, sidewalks, driveways, retaining walls, and curb ramps), street reconstruction projects (base and pavement replacement, joint and crack sealing), and drainage and bridge rehabilitation work. Issuing bodies span city public works departments (particularly the City of San Antonio), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida and Boulder County, Colorado), and state transportation authorities (Georgia Department of Transportation and the State of Texas). The City of San Antonio has emerged as a repeat buyer, posting multiple 2026 and 2027 street rehabilitation task order contracts that all reference reinforcing steel as a component material.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Colorado. The City of San Antonio alone has posted five task order contracts for street rehabilitation packages between March and June 2026, with response dates ranging from March 17 through August 11, 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida posted a standalone rebar bid-discount solicitation (26P00423) due July 20, 2026, offering pre-bid and discounted purchasing for county departments. Boulder County, Colorado is procuring rebar as part of the Baseline Road at Dry Creek Bridge Replacement project (BID24926) with mandatory pre-bid attendance and a March 12, 2026 response deadline. The Georgia Department of Transportation issued a drainage rehabilitation ITB/RFQ (48400DOT0003496) on February 25, 2026 with a March 16 deadline, restricted to prequalified contractors holding a Master Service Agreement. San Antonio's street rehabilitation packages typically carry SBEDA subcontracting requirements, Local Preference Program and Veteran-Owned Small Business preference designations, and prevailing wage obligations. Rebar activity correlates directly with capital improvement cycles for street, sidewalk, and bridge work rather than with standalone materials procurement.
