UNSPSC 30191612: Scaffolding wire rope

A special kind of large diameter ( 8 to 10 mm) wire made of a very resistant steel used in scaffolding.

UNSPSC 30191612 Scaffolding wire rope is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses the supply and delivery of complete scaffolding systems and related access equipment to state and local facilities, warehouses, and transit operations. State and local governments procuring under this code buy modular scaffolding assemblies, mobile work platforms, ladders, and related safety-certified equipment for maintenance, construction, and equipment-service applications across diverse facility types. Recent solicitations reflect demand from port authorities, transportation agencies, state building maintenance programs, and facility management operations that require either standing inventory or project-specific deployments of compliant scaffolding systems.

The issuing-body mix includes special-purpose authorities (the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey), state facility commissions (Texas Facilities Commission), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional procurement. The Orange County Transportation Authority's May 2026 IFB 250214 for two bus scaffolding systems, due May 11, 2026, exemplifies the specificity of recent demand—the procurement required aluminum or galvanized-steel platforms with anti-skid surfaces, handrails, and OSHA and ANSI compliance, tailored to work on 40-foot electric, CNG, and hydrogen fuel-cell buses, with an estimated contract value of $500,000 over two years and a DBE goal applied. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's three-year requirements contract (Bid 6000003376, due July 13, 2026) solicited ongoing supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to warehouses across New York and New Jersey. Geographic activity concentrates in California, New York and New Jersey, and Texas, with cooperative purchasing extending availability nationally. The code sees modest but steady activity driven by capital facility upgrades and transit-maintenance programs that standardize equipment procurement across multiple locations.
