UNSPSC 30241602: Stair step

In portable structures such as grandstands, the horizontal surface on which people walk to go up or down stairways.

UNSPSC 30241602 Stair step is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of bleachers, auditorium and theater seating, and related fixed and retractable venue seating systems for schools, universities, and public facilities. State and local governments buying under this code seek complete turnkey solutions—demolition and removal of existing seats, furnishing, installation, compliance with building and safety codes, manufacturer warranties, and operational training. School districts dominate the buyer base, with recent activity also from universities, counties, and municipalities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Emanuel County Schools, Hancock County School District, Tunica County School District, Breitung Township Schools, Grosse Ile Township Schools, Greene County School District), county school systems (Cherokee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), universities (Kennesaw State University, University of Texas at Austin), and city or county departments (City of Commerce, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue through Hillsborough County). Representative recent solicitations reflect the scope: Emanuel County Schools issued an RFP on July 9, 2026, for motorized telescoping gym bleachers at Swainsboro Middle School with a response date of July 17, 2026, requiring compliance with ICC 300, IBC, ADA Accessibility Guidelines, Georgia State Building Code, and OSHA standards; Hancock County School District issued a sealed-bid solicitation on June 19, 2026, for two telescopic bleacher units at Hancock North Central Elementary with a June 23 response date and an on-site walkthrough available June 15; and Kennesaw State University posted an RFP on February 17, 2026, for auditorium seating maintenance and repair across multiple facility types with a March 24, 2026, submission deadline.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Mississippi, with secondary activity in Michigan, Texas, and Minnesota cooperative purchasing. Georgia school districts (Emanuel County, Hancock County, Tunica County, Greene County, Cherokee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Kennesaw State University, and City of Commerce in Cobb County) represent the densest recent opportunity concentration, followed by Mississippi school districts. Recent solicitations also appear in Michigan (Breitung Township Schools, Grosse Ile Township Schools) and Texas (University of Texas at Austin). Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based state and local government service cooperative, posted an RFP on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment that was broadly scoped and available to thousands of public entities nationwide, though this opportunity appears tangential to bleacher and seating procurement. Response dates across the recent batch ranged from late February through mid-July 2026, with most school-district bleacher procurements clustering between late April and early July 2026, suggesting spring and early-summer budget execution cycles drive activity in this code.
