UNSPSC 30241512: Transom

A horizontal member which is placed on top of upright poles and generally used to make an entrance to a tent.

UNSPSC 30241512 Transom is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase, delivery, and installation of modular buildings, portable office structures, and related prefabricated building systems. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring complete turnkey office and operational facilities—modular classrooms, administrative buildings, police and fire stations, public works facilities, and temporary office trailers—with integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, interior finishes, and site-specific customization. The issuing bodies span city governments, county commissions, special districts, technical colleges, school districts, and regional authorities. Recent activity shows a mix of small-scale portable office purchases (10-by-10-foot connex units from Tampa's Solid Waste department) and larger modular campus construction (Texas Juvenile Justice Department's 72-by-56-foot criminal investigation office, Coastal Pines Technical College's three dedicated trades training spaces). Cities of Rincon and Sandersville (Georgia), Flowery Branch (Georgia), and Fort Worth (Texas) are actively procuring modular structures for police, public works, and water department operations. The code also captures cooperative purchasing vehicles such as H-GAC's statewide modular buildings contract and Harris County Department of Education's indefinite-delivery job-order contracting mechanism for modular facilities maintenance and installation.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with ITB and RFP solicitations from Rincon, Flowery Branch, Sandersville, and Technical College System of Georgia posted between June and March 2026, followed by Texas (Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Harris County, City of Fort Worth, Temple ISD), Florida (City of Tampa, Clay County), and scattered activity in Maryland, Mississippi, and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Rincon's ITB 070126-001 for a 48-by-60 modular office building for the Police Department (due July 30, 2026), the City of Flowery Branch's ITB 26-011 for a 24-by-60 modular building at Public Works with sealed bids due July 23, 2026, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's RFQ FY26_GNS_OIG_BUILDING for a 72-by-56-foot office building at Gainesville (due July 14, 2026), and Harris County Department of Education's indefinite-delivery job-order contracting component through Choice Partners (proposals due June 16, 2026 with tentative award August 19, 2026). H-GAC's statewide cooperative procurement MB1126 for modular buildings and structures closed June 17 with proposals due July 30, 2026, and serves multiple Texas and participating jurisdictions. Evaluation criteria consistently emphasize price, vendor qualifications and past performance, compliance with state building codes and ADA requirements, delivery and installation timeline feasibility, and insurance and bonding capacity. Set-asides and local preferences vary by jurisdiction—Henry County road projects cite 11 percent DBE benchmarks, while modular facility solicitations typically do not specify disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions. Most awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bid; multi-year job-order contracts apply pricing coefficients and fixed hourly labor rates. Activity remains active and distributed across municipal and county purchasing offices, with no indication of slowdown.
