UNSPSC 30241513: Steel A-frame

Triangular shaped structure composed of square steel tubing with a stirrup welded at the top in which the stringer or support beam sits. Acts as a structural support. In some cases, the stirrup can be mounted on a threaded rod or screw-jack which makes it adjustable.

UNSPSC 30241513 Steel A-frame is a Commodity code covering portable and modular structural systems, ranging from small office connex units and shipping containers to full-scale modular classrooms and office buildings. State and local governments procure under this code for temporary and semi-permanent facilities—administrative offices, training spaces, equipment shelters, and specialized buildings—when speed of deployment, mobility, or cost efficiency outweigh the need for permanent construction. Recent solicitations show a mix of single-unit purchases (10'x10' connex boxes at $25,000–$50,000 scale) and larger modular building systems (48'x60' and 72'x56' office buildings with full MEP and finishes, often in the $200,000–$500,000 range). The code draws activity from city departments, county governments, technical colleges, school districts, and special authorities, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity.

Cities and counties across Georgia, Texas, and Florida have driven recent volume. The City of Rincon and City of Flowery Branch (Georgia) solicited modular office buildings for municipal operations via ITB and sealed-bid formats in June and July 2026, with response dates of July 23 and July 30 respectively. The Texas Juvenile Justice Department sought a 72'x56' office building with detailed MEP specifications (July 14, 2026, response date). The City of Tampa Solid Waste department has issued multiple RFQs for small 10'x10' connex units (April and June 2026). H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council) in Texas and Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) opened cooperative purchasing vehicles for modular buildings, with HCDE's Job Order Contracting component allowing indefinite-quantity procurement through unit price books. Wicomico County (Maryland), Pearl Public School District (Mississippi), and Coastal Pines Technical College (Georgia) sought modular classrooms or training buildings. Geographic spread includes Georgia (particularly around Atlanta and in rural counties), Texas (state agencies and Houston area), Florida (city departments), Maryland, and Mississippi, with Georgia showing the highest concentration of modular building solicitations in the recent window.
