UNSPSC 30191501: Ladders

UNSPSC 30191501 Ladders, a Commodity code, covers ladder procurement for state and local government operations, though recent solicitations show minimal direct ladder purchasing and instead reflect broader equipment and safety-system categories that may include ladder-related components. State and local governments soliciting under this code span county school districts, county aviation and emergency-services departments, municipal fire departments, and regional transportation authorities. The primary issuing bodies in recent activity are specialized agencies managing fleet operations, fire protection infrastructure, and facility maintenance—Hillsborough County Public Schools, Broward County, the City of Santa Monica Fire Department, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The scope of work diverges substantially from standalone ladder sales: the recent opportunities tagged to this code include fire protection system maintenance and repairs, structural fire engine procurement, aerial truck acquisition, and combined ladder-and-scaffolding supply contracts for warehouse distribution.

The code shows recent activity across Florida, California, and the New York-New Jersey tri-state region. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey issued a three-year requirements contract (BID6000003376, due July 13, 2026) for supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouse locations across both states, representing the most direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted RFP 26349-RFP-MST (due October 5, 2026) for fire protection system services including inspection and maintenance across 235 district facilities, with separate vendors required for inspection versus repair work and SBE participation weighted at 10 percent of evaluation criteria. Broward County issued an invitation to bid (TRN2132656B1, due September 14, 2026, awarded) for one new structural fire engine with NFPA compliance and specific horsepower and transmission requirements; the bid tabulation shows North America Fire Equipment Co., Inc. at $1,397,883 and Ten-8 Fire & Safety LLC at $1,460,925. The City of Santa Monica Fire Department solicited proposals (RFP #472, due June 11, 2026) for four Type 1 Fire Engines and two Tractor Drawn Aerial Trucks with manufacturing in the continental United States and factory-trained service requirements within 100 miles of Santa Monica, evaluated on cost, references, quality control, experience, specifications, value-added services, and work-plan capability.
