UNSPSC 30191607: Scaffolding counterweight

An accessory used in scaffolding to balance the weigh and avoid the fall of suspended scaffolds, it is heavy and usually cubic.

UNSPSC 30191607 Scaffolding counterweight is a Commodity code covering temporary and portable scaffolding equipment and systems purchased by state and local governments for facility maintenance, construction support, and specialized access work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring complete scaffolding systems, individual frame and component assemblies, and integrated equipment packages rather than counterweights alone. Issuing bodies span transportation authorities, county departments of public works, state facilities commissions, and port authorities. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Orange County Transportation Authority, Cuyahoga County Ohio, and the Texas Facilities Commission have all posted scaffolding-related opportunities in the past two months, indicating active procurement across multiple government sectors and geographies.

Recent activity concentrates in the Northeast, California, Ohio, and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 250214 on May 27, 2026, with bids due May 11, 2026, for two bus scaffolding systems compliant with OSHA and California Title 8 standards at an estimated value of $500,000 over two years. Cuyahoga County, Ohio posted competitive bidding for commercial premium frame scaffolding (Waco Red brand) with delivery due April 16, 2026, requiring itemized pricing across ten distinct component categories. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey solicited supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouses under a three-year requirements contract (Bid 6000003376) with responses due July 13, 2026. The Texas Facilities Commission's HVAC upgrade project at the El Paso State Building included scaffolding and site-access components as part of a broader $4.95 million construction effort. Set-asides and buy-domestic provisions appear regularly; the Orange County solicitation requires Buy America compliance, the Texas project mandates HUB subcontracting participation at 21.1%, and the OCTA procurement applies a DBE goal.
