UNSPSC 30131605: Sandlime brick

UNSPSC 30131605 Sandlime brick, a Commodity code, nominally covers masonry materials, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with sandlime brick purchasing. Of the five recent opportunities posted under this code, only two engage masonry work directly: Monroe County, Florida's RFP for East Martello Historic Masonry Restoration (due June 4, 2026) and the City of Statesboro, Georgia's sealed bid invitation for Averitt Center brick repointing and window replacement (due March 5, 2026). Both solicitations emphasize historic preservation, matching existing brick exactly, and compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, with lime-based mortar and full masonry restoration rather than sandlime brick supply alone. The remaining three opportunities—Williamson County Purchasing Department's administrative relocation notice, San Bernardino County's multi-category parts and supplies ITB, and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP—fall outside masonry scope entirely, indicating potential miscoding or system tagging errors at the state and local level.

The active masonry restoration work appears in Georgia and Florida counties and a city, with solicitation notice types limited to RFP and sealed invitation-to-bid formats typical of capital improvement projects. Monroe County's project involves structural stabilization of historic masonry dating to 1845–1862 with a 240-calendar-day performance window (substantial completion by March 31, 2027), while Statesboro's work is compressed to a 90-day cycle. Neither opportunity emphasizes supply-only procurement of sandlime brick materials; both are restoration services requiring qualified contractors with documented historic preservation experience. The code shows limited recent activity, and where activity does appear, it maps to historic preservation services rather than material supply, suggesting this commodity code may see low volume or frequent miscoding in state and local procurement systems.
