UNSPSC 30191613: Ladder platform

Device that clips onto a ladder rung to provide a convenient area for tools and materials at the top of the ladder.

UNSPSC 30191613 Ladder platform is a Commodity code representing work state and local governments buy for the supply and delivery of portable ladders and related platforms to support facility maintenance, emergency response, and general operations. Recent solicitations show fire apparatus procurement and fire protection system services dominating the opportunities tagged to this code, with a narrow thread of direct ladder and scaffolding supply work. Issuing bodies span county school districts, county aviation departments, city fire departments, and regional port authorities. The fire apparatus work—structural fire engines and aerial ladder trucks—represents significant capital procurement by emergency services agencies, while ladder supply work appears less frequently. A structural separation-of-duties requirement in the Hillsborough County Public Schools fire protection RFP reflects compliance frameworks that shape contract scope and vendor qualification.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and California. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted RFP 26349-RFPMST on September 7, 2026 (due October 5) for fire protection system services including inspection and maintenance across 235 schools, with separate vendors required for inspection versus repair work and small business enterprise utilization weighted at 10 percent of evaluation points. Broward County issued IFB TRN2132656B1 on August 12, 2026 (due September 14) for one structural fire engine meeting NFPA and FAA standards, with two bids received ranging from $1,397,883 to $1,460,925. The City of Santa Monica Fire Department released RFP #472 on July 27, 2026 for four Type 1 Fire Engines and two Tractor Drawn Aerial Trucks with stringent manufacturer qualifications including FAMA membership and $30 million product liability insurance. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey posted BID 6000003376 on June 25, 2026 (due July 13) for a three-year requirements contract supplying ladders and scaffolding to multiple warehouses across both states, representing the most direct ladder platform procurement on record. The apparent mismatch between the code's scope and the fire apparatus opportunities suggests state and local procurement offices are tagging emergency-response capital equipment to this commodity code inconsistently.
