UNSPSC 30191506: Platform step ladder

A type of ladder that gives a stable working position with a high level platform for resting tools and materials being used. Available in various heights and with or without a high level hand rail.

UNSPSC 30191506 Platform step ladder is a Commodity code representing portable ladders and climbing equipment that state and local governments procure for operational, maintenance, and emergency-response work across multiple asset classes and facility types. Recent solicitations show purchasing agencies acquiring ladders as part of broader equipment and supply contracts alongside scaffolding, fire apparatus, instructional equipment, and industrial supplies, reflecting the ladders' role as consumable or capital equipment in public operations rather than as standalone procurements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include transit and port authorities, city fire departments, counties, and school districts — a mix spanning transportation infrastructure, emergency services, educational institutions, and general county maintenance operations.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey posted a three-year requirements contract (BID6000003376, due July 13, 2026) for supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to Port Authority warehouses across New York and New Jersey. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited galvanized steel pallets (ITB2600197, due April 3, 2026) at an estimated $70,264.60 for two years, reflecting infrastructure and equipment-support procurement typical of county operations. Recent activity clusters in the Northeast (New York, New Jersey) and Southeast (Florida, Texas), with school districts in Texas (Klein ISD, RFP 26-101) and city fire departments in California (Santa Monica) issuing broader RFPs that bundle ladder, equipment, and supply categories alongside other operational needs. The code shows modest but consistent activity across multiple issuing-body types, with requirements contracts and sealed bids dominating the notice types where ladder procurement appears as a line item within broader facility, transportation, or emergency-response supply chains.
