UNSPSC 30241514: Structural brace

A device (such as a bar or an angle bracket) placed between two other pieces, used as a tie or strut to bear transverse strains and prevent distortion.

UNSPSC 30241514 Structural brace, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase and installation of modular buildings, portable offices, storage containers, and related structural support systems that state and local governments deploy for administrative, educational, operational, and temporary facility needs. Recent solicitations reveal a diverse range of actual procurement activity: modular classrooms and office buildings for school districts and municipalities; portable office trailers and connex units for public works and solid waste operations; mobile training facilities for technical colleges; and specialized containers for events and temporary infrastructure. The issuing bodies span state departments, county commissions, city governments, school districts, technical college systems, and special-purpose authorities, with repeat activity from Georgia jurisdictions (multiple municipal ITBs and county RFQs), Texas education and juvenile justice agencies, and Florida cities and counties. Work under the code ranges from single small connex units (10'x10' portable offices with AC and outlets) to comprehensive turnkey installations including site preparation, utility connections, interior finishes, permits, and delivery—often with performance bonds, insurance requirements, and compliance with state building codes and ADA standards.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia and Texas, with active procurement across Florida, California, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent representative opportunities 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 a 72-by-56-foot office building with six mini-split HVAC units, ramp systems, and awnings at its Gainesville facility (due July 14, 2026); the City of Tampa's RFQ for a single 10'x10' weather-proof insulated connex unit with AC and wall outlets (due April 24, 2026); the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia's ITB for a 24'x60' modular Public Works office building with interior fixtures and utility connections (due July 23, 2026 with Addendum No. 1 issued); H-GAC's cooperative procurement for modular buildings, shelters, and structures (due July 30, 2026); and Harris County Department of Education's Job Order Contracting procurement for modular buildings and related items with a $200 million cooperative maximum (due June 16, 2026). Solicitation types include ITBs, RFQs, RFPs, and CSPs, with award criteria typically emphasizing low responsive and responsible bid, technical compliance, delivery schedule, and past performance. Most opportunities require firm pricing, insurance proof (workers' compensation, general liability, performance/payment bonds), E-Verify compliance, and compliance with applicable state and local building codes.
