UNSPSC 30241504: Base plate

A device used at the base of a column to provide firm footing and sometimes act as a pivot to bring the pole up into position during installation and down when dismantling.

UNSPSC 30241504 Base plate is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The opportunities tagged with this code center on the purchase, delivery, and installation of modular and portable buildings, shipping container offices, and related structures—prefabricated facilities for administrative, educational, operational, and event-support use—rather than the metalworking or fastener components the code nominally describes. A base plate is a discrete component; the solicitations under this tag are for complete building systems and site integration work.

Recent state and local opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, California, and Maryland, issued by counties, municipalities, school districts, technical colleges, and special-purpose authorities. Representative solicitations include the City of Rincon, Georgia's ITB for a 48x60 modular office building for the Police Department (due July 30, 2026), the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's bid for delivery and installation of a 72-by-56-foot office building at its Gainesville facility (due July 14, 2026), Harris County Department of Education's competitive sealed proposal for modular buildings through a Job Order Contracting vehicle with up to four one-year renewal terms (due June 16, 2026), and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for office trailers and refrigerated containers for the FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park (due March 6, 2026). H-GAC in Texas and Sourcewell in Minnesota are also soliciting on modular buildings as contracting vehicles for member jurisdictions. The code shows substantial recent activity but with a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought.
