UNSPSC 30191500: Ladders and scaffolding

UNSPSC 30191500 Ladders and scaffolding is a Class code covering portable access equipment that state and local governments buy for operational, maintenance, and emergency-response use. Recent opportunities show city fire departments procuring specialized fire ground ladders (aluminum NFPA 1931–compliant models in roof and extension configurations with custom halyard specifications), while regional transit and port authorities solicit general-purpose ladders and scaffolding for warehouse and facility maintenance. The issuing bodies include city fire departments, county and municipal maintenance divisions, and special-purpose authorities such as regional transit operators. Work under the code ranges from single-unit specialized procurements to multi-year requirements contracts covering ongoing supply to multiple warehouse locations.

Activity concentrates in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget issued IFB #2026IFB031 for Duo-Safety fire ground ladders (eight models, aluminum NFPA 1931–compliant, with firm fixed pricing F.O.B. destination and bids due August 5, 2026) with DBE participation goals of 18% MBEs, 7% WBEs, 5% VOSBs, and 3% LGBTQIA+-owned businesses, and award will be made on an item-by-item or low-total basis across a four-year contract period running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2030. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey solicited bids under BID6000003376 for supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouses in both states under a three-year requirements contract with a July 13, 2026 due date.
