UNSPSC 30191604: Scaffolding cross brace

Metal rods that are used to add stability to the structural members, placing them at angles prevent scaffold breaks.

UNSPSC 30191604 Scaffolding cross brace is a Commodity code covering physical scaffolding components and assemblies purchased by state and local government for maintenance, construction, and operational support across multiple facility types and transportation assets. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring complete scaffolding systems, component kits, and individual structural elements—ranging from frame assemblies and cross braces to mobile access platforms for buses and building maintenance. Issuing bodies include port authorities, state facilities commissions, county transportation authorities, and county departments of public works. The mix reflects both capital projects (building HVAC upgrades, facility maintenance) and operational support (bus servicing infrastructure).

Activity under the code spans multiple regions. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey issued a three-year requirements contract for ladders and scaffolding delivery to multiple warehouses across New York and New Jersey, with bids due July 13, 2026 under solicitation BID6000003376. Orange County Transportation Authority (California) solicited two bus scaffolding systems under IFB 250214 with an estimated contract value of $500,000 and a two-year term, requiring aluminum and galvanized-steel mobile systems compliant with OSHA and Cal/OSHA standards, with bids due May 11, 2026. Cuyahoga County, Ohio posted a competitive bid for commercial premium frame scaffolding components (Waco Red equipment) on April 14, 2026 with a bid deadline of April 16, 2026, requiring itemized pricing across ten distinct scaffold types and accessories. A separate Texas Facilities Commission RFP for HVAC upgrades at the El Paso State Building included scaffolding as part of site improvement work in a $4.95 million project. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Texas, with cooperative purchasing frameworks (Sourcewell) extending reach across Washington state and broader U.S. jurisdictions.
