UNSPSC 30131603: Concrete bricks

UNSPSC 30131603 Concrete bricks — a Commodity code — covers precast and prefabricated concrete masonry units and related cast-concrete components that state and local governments procure for utility infrastructure, site hardscaping, accessible ramps, and general construction. Recent solicitations show purchasers acquiring precast concrete pads and sleeves for electrical utility equipment, concrete benches and platforms for public parks, concrete sidewalks and curbs for streets and pedestrian infrastructure, brick pavers for transit facilities and public rights-of-way, and ready-mix concrete for ongoing maintenance and repair work. The issuing bodies span utility authorities, city public works and transportation departments, county commissions, transit systems, school districts, and state transportation agencies. Kissimmee Utility Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), City of Sanford, City of Marietta, and Santa Clara County appear as repeat or significant recent buyers; activity is concentrated among cities and counties managing streets, utilities, and parks infrastructure.

Geographic spread is national with notable recent activity in Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority's pre-cast utility pads, Sanford's concrete services, Orange County's bridge work, Pinellas County's sewer improvements, Pasco County's concrete and asphalt services), Georgia (Liberty County's amphitheater, City of Johns Creek streetscape, City of Cadwell sidewalk, City of Rome fire station driveway, Macon Water Authority), California (Santa Clara County's trail and pavement projects), and scattered activity across Texas, Connecticut, North Carolina, and the upper Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB AR18012CV for precast concrete pads and sleeves (response April 17, 2018, awarded to Oldcastle Precast with three-year initial term); City of Sanford, Florida's IFB 24/25-30R for concrete installation and repair services (due January 29, 2026, with five separate concrete mix types priced per 100-cubic-yard increment); Liberty County Board of Commissioners' invitation to bid for Susie King Taylor Freedom Park amphitheater with brick pavers and concrete benches (due November 17, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid November 3); and Charlotte Area Transit System's rebid (ITB 26920271782) for clay brick pavers, precast concrete pavers at light rail and bus facilities, and truncated-dome pavers at accessible ramps (due October 22, 2026).
