UNSPSC 30191606: Scaffolding staircase

A special kind of staircase that is inserted in scaffolds to let the buiding workers go up and down with more security and comfort.

UNSPSC 30191606 Scaffolding staircase is a Commodity code covering modular staircase assemblies and platforms used in mobile scaffolding systems for maintenance, construction, and equipment access. State and local governments procure these units as components of larger scaffold systems for fleet maintenance, building access, and transportation authority operations. Issuing bodies span transit authorities, port authorities, and state facilities commissions. The procurement activity includes both standalone staircase components and integrated scaffold systems with stairs as primary functional elements.

Recent opportunities reflect two distinct buying patterns: the Orange County Transportation Authority solicited two complete bus scaffolding systems (IFB 250214, due May 11, 2026) featuring 36-inch-wide staircases with handrails, swing gates, and anti-skid platforms rated for 2021–2023 transit buses at an estimated contract value of $500,000 for a two-year term with a DBE goal; and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey posted a three-year requirements contract (BID 6000003376, due July 13, 2026) for supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouse locations across New York and New Jersey. The geographic footprint spans California, New York, New Jersey, and other regions where transit and port operations drive demand for durable, compliant access equipment. Prevailing wage, Buy America Compliance, OSHA and ANSI standards, and Davis-Bacon labor provisions are standard contract requirements. Warranty obligations (five years in the OCTA solicitation) and training delivery are common scope additions.
