UNSPSC 30151903: Structural canopy

A fixed structure supported on pillars that was common in baroque architecture, may be independent of other structures, or may projects out from a structure such as a building, typically providing shelter at an entrance. It may be supported by the building it is attached to and / or ground mountings cables, stanchions or upright support posts.

UNSPSC 30151903 Structural canopy (Commodity) encompasses fabrication, installation, repair, and replacement of permanent and semi-permanent overhead shade structures—including aluminum-framed canopies, shade sails, galvalume awnings, and specialty exclusion systems—that state and local governments deploy across parks, recreation facilities, transportation infrastructure, and public service buildings. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions procuring canopies for weather protection at parks and observation areas, specialty structures for bird mitigation at transit facilities, and site furnishings as part of broader parks and recreation portfolios. Issuing bodies include county commissions, city parks and recreation departments, county transportation authorities, and school districts. The code spans both standalone canopy projects and canopy work nested within larger park improvement or facility construction contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Utah, Kansas, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department (ITQ through its 26P00278 solicitation for parks site furnishings and shade structures across over 200 parks, estimated value $4,000,000, with a May 29, 2026 response deadline); Spalding County Board of Commissioners, Georgia (design-build for splash pad installations with shade structure components at two park locations, responses due September 22, 2026); Broward County Parks and Recreation Division (fixed-price bid BLD2132119B1 for shade structure installation at Quiet Waters Park, SBE-reserved, due July 13, 2026); Clay County Board of County Commissioners, Florida (RFQ 2526091 for replacement of two 30-foot tri-sail shade nets at Moody Avenue Park funded through FEMA disaster recovery, due July 28, 2026, project cost $21,170); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITQ2600272 for galvalume awning fabrication and installation at Upper Tampa Bay Park Nature Center, estimated value $25,500, responses due June 12, 2026); and the Salt Lake City School District (IFB DH2671TBC for bird mitigation and avian exclusion work on a transportation bus center canopy structure, due June 30, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid site visit June 16, 2026). Contractors pursuing this code typically need Florida, Georgia, or other state contractor licensing, commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage, and demonstrated experience with similar structures; many jurisdictions require three to five years of comparable project experience and references.
