UNSPSC 30162101: Steel stairs

UNSPSC 30162101 Steel stairs is a Commodity code that encompasses fabrication, installation, and repair of steel structural components including stairs, treads, risers, guardrails, and supporting framework used in municipal and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure this code primarily for building renovation, water treatment facility upgrades, pedestrian bridge construction, and emergency infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations span a mix of issuing bodies: city governments (Statesboro, Georgia; New Smyrna Beach, Florida; Lavonia, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona), county departments (Sarasota County, Florida; Chatham County, Georgia), state transportation and utility agencies (Nevada Department of Transportation; Illinois State Toll Highway Authority; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), school districts (Liberty County School System, Georgia), municipal water utilities (West Basin Municipal Water District, California), and university systems (Texas A&M University System). Work under this code includes selective steel demolition and replacement of corroded walkway structural systems, installation of stainless steel beams and channels with epoxy protective coatings, stair renovation with new treads and risers, bridge deck repairs and cleaning, guardrail fabrication and installation, fabrication of emergency infrastructure components such as dam stop logs, and canopy support structure repairs. Material requirements typically mandate new equipment only, SSPC surface preparation standards, AISC structural specifications, and compliance with building codes and prevailing wage requirements.
