UNSPSC 30131518: Concrete block for bridges

A block made with concrete for the construction of bridges.

UNSPSC 30131518 Concrete block for bridges (Commodity) covers concrete structural materials procured by state and local governments for bridge construction and rehabilitation projects, though recent solicitations under this code show limited direct material procurement and instead reflect broader construction contracting for bridge and related infrastructure work. State and local governments buying under this code typically seek either concrete block materials as discrete line items within larger bridge projects or engage general contractors who source and install such materials as part of integrated construction scopes. The issuing bodies placing opportunities under the code include counties, cities, and special-purpose districts, with activity scattered across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated among repeat buyers.

Recent activity appears primarily in Arizona and Utah, with the Weber County–Summit County partnership (Utah) issuing SCPW0726 for the Hoytsville Bridge and Road Widening and Weber Canyon Bridge Project on April 6, 2026 (due April 23, 2026) through electronic bidding via BONFIRE, and the City of Scottsdale posting 26RFSQ061 on March 3, 2026 (due March 31, 2026) for a Job Order Contract covering civil and site work including concrete and bridge-related construction throughout the municipality. The Weber Canyon Bridge scope encompasses demolition, new bridge construction across two separate projects, roadway widening, asphalt overlay, and related site work with substantial contract value but no specific estimate disclosed. Santa Clara County in California solicited ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026 (due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, which includes Portland cement concrete curb, gutter, ramp, and sidewalk work but is primarily a pavement and roadway rehabilitation effort rather than bridge-specific procurement. The code shows mixed alignment with its nominal scope — while concrete materials are referenced in several solicitations, they appear as components within broader construction contracts rather than as discrete material procurement categories, suggesting either light direct-buy activity under this code or frequent miscoding of broader construction work.
