UNSPSC 30131519: Gabion block

Product made by filling natural or processed stone into wire mesh made in the shape of square, circle, oval

UNSPSC 30131519 Gabion block (Commodity) represents crushed aggregates, stone materials, and riprap supplies that state and local governments procure for roadway, drainage, water resource, and erosion control projects. Recent solicitations show state transportation departments, counties, and cities buying crushed limestone, Class 1000 riprap, flexible base, stone rip-rap (in multiple sizes), and granite rubble under this code, with performance spanning from routine road maintenance to emergency stormwater mitigation and bridge scour protection. The buying pattern reflects infrastructure maintenance and emergency response rather than gabion-block fabrication specifically; issuing bodies include state DOT agencies (Mississippi Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Transportation, Oregon Department of Transportation), counties (Pinellas County Florida, DeKalb County Georgia, Santa Clara County California, DeSoto County Mississippi, Dallas County Texas, Denton County Texas), municipalities (City of Austin, City of Wichita, City of Fort Worth, City of Amarillo, City of Huntsville, City of Philadelphia), and regional authorities (Orlando Utilities Commission, Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Sanitation District No. 2-3 Santa Clara County).

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California generating the largest recent opportunity volume. The Mississippi Department of Transportation issued RFX 3160008330 (closed November 2, 2026) for crushed aggregates with delivery required next day after notification and EEV certification available to qualifying bidders. The City of Austin solicited flexible base, surface rock, and 3x5-inch rock under IFB 5000 MAS1008 (due August 18, 2026) with local and small business discounts of three to five percent and PPI-indexed annual adjustments. The City of Wichita requested stone rip-rap in 18-inch, 24-inch, and 5×9 configurations under RFB 260112 (due July 10, 2026) for the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control Project with source pre-qualification required and two optional one-year renewal periods. DeKalb County Georgia awarded a three-year multiyear contract for granite rubble stone under ITB 2026-030-ITB (bids due June 17, 2026). Pinellas County Florida's drainage repair work order contract (ITB-C 26-0694, Step 2 due October 20, 2026) includes over 150 line items spanning riprap, matting, culvert installation, and erosion control. Boulder County Parks and Open Space established a five-year short-list of pre-qualified aggregate and erosion control material vendors (SOQ28626, due May 27, 2026) with project-by-project assignments. Activity remains active through fall 2026, with repeat buyers in Mississippi (DeSoto County and Mississippi DOT) and Texas (TxDOT, Dallas County, Denton County, City of Amarillo, City of Huntsville) signaling sustained procurement cycles tied to seasonal maintenance and emergency response schedules.
