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, a Commodity code, covers fabrication, design, engineering, and installation of permanent and temporary shade structures—including tri-sail shade nets, fabric-covered canopies, metal shade structures, awnings, and pre-engineered canopy systems—that state and local governments procure for parks, recreation facilities, transportation hubs, institutional campuses, and municipal infrastructure. Recent opportunities range from small-scale RFQ replacements of existing shade elements to large turnkey construction projects with complex engineering and warranty requirements, reflecting a procurement market that encompasses both repair-and-replace work at individual parks and new-construction shade infrastructure at multi-acre municipal facilities.

The code sees activity from county boards of commissioners, city parks and recreation departments, school districts, and state health agencies across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include Clay County Board of County Commissioners' RFQ for two 30-foot tri-sail shade net replacements at Moody Avenue Park in Orange Park, Florida ($21,170 total, July 28, 2026 response deadline); Broward County Parks and Recreation Division's fixed-price IFB for two fabric-covered shade structures at Quiet Waters Park, reserved for Small Business Enterprises (July 13, 2026 response deadline); and Salt Lake City School District's performance-based bird mitigation and avian exclusion solicitation for its transportation center canopy (June 30, 2026 response deadline with mandatory June 16 pre-bid). Additional activity includes Hillsborough County's RFQ for a galvalume awning at Upper Tampa Bay Park ($25,500 estimated value, June 12 response deadline), the City of Tampa's catalog-discount procurement for parks site furnishings and shade structures ($4 million estimated value, May 29 response deadline), the City of St. Petersburg's as-needed vendor RFQ for outdoor playgrounds, fitness equipment, and shade structures (April 28 response deadline), Texas HHSC's IFB for a permanent shade awning at Austin State Hospital (April 9 response deadline), and the City of Dallas's bid solicitation for fabric-covered shade structures (March 17 response deadline). Activity concentrates in Florida counties (Clay, Broward, Hillsborough, and Tampa) and extends to Texas, Utah, Georgia, and Michigan, with most solicitations issued by municipal parks departments and county commissioners' offices.
