UNSPSC 30131502: Concrete blocks

UNSPSC 30131502 Concrete blocks, a Commodity code, covers prefabricated concrete masonry units that state and local governments procure for construction, infrastructure repair, and coastal protection projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing lightweight standard concrete half-blocks—typically 8-inch nominal dimensions with double corners and single core—in bulk quantities for delivery to multiple sites. The code also spans concrete crushing services supporting public works operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services), county governments (Leon County, Santa Clara County, Cherokee County), and special districts (Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3). Repeat activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with Florida showing particular volume in the past two months.

Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issued ITB AQ 26 27 41 requesting approximately 600,000 concrete half-blocks, with bids due August 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET; the solicitation applies Florida-vendor preference under Section 287.084, F.S., with additional preferences for in-state manufacture and certified business enterprises in tie-bid situations, and specifies delivery across three coastal sites (Brevard, Dixie, and Charlotte Counties) with nine months of weekly shipments. Leon County, Florida issued solicitation IN16802 for concrete half-blocks with bids originally due August 24, 2026 (extended by timeline revision posted August 17, 2026). Cherokee County Board of Commissioners Purchasing Department issued a sealed-bid RFQ for concrete and asphalt crushing services supporting Public Works, due August 25, 2026. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 requesting bids for sewer infrastructure rehabilitation work (the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2) due September 17, 2026, which includes removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe, pipe bursting, and installation of precast concrete sanitary sewer manholes and fittings—a scope adjacent to the concrete blocks commodity rather than directly within it.
