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 covers procurement of scaffolding systems and components—including frame scaffolding, mobile work platforms, and specialized systems—by state and local authorities. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through counties, transit authorities, and port authorities seeking to procure new scaffolding equipment, platforms, and related systems for maintenance, construction support, and operational use. Recent solicitations show demand for both standard frame scaffolding components (such as premade Waco Red frame systems with coupling pins, cross braces, and guard rails) and specialized mobile scaffolding platforms engineered for specific applications like transit bus maintenance. Issuing bodies include county public works departments, regional transportation authorities, and special-purpose districts such as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Recent activity spans the West, Midwest, and East regions. Cuyahoga County, Ohio issued an IFB for commercial premium frame scaffolding in April 2026 specifying quantities of 4 to 24 units across components including 5'x5' FR box frames, coupling pins, spring clips, cross braces, screw adjustable bases, and aluminum decking. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) solicited bids under IFB 250214, posted May 27, 2026 with a due date of May 11, 2026 (note: due date predates post date in source), for two bus scaffolding systems meeting specifications for 2021–2023 New Flyer and Gillig buses, with a $500,000 estimated contract value over two years, a five-year warranty requirement, and a DBE goal. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey posted Bid 6000003376 on June 25, 2026 for supply and delivery of ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouse locations across New York and New Jersey under a three-year requirements contract, due July 13, 2026. All recent procurements emphasize compliance with OSHA standards, new equipment only (no refurbished units), and delivery to multiple locations.
