UNSPSC 30241700: Tent and membrane structure framing and covering components

Components of tent or membrane structures, such as masts, side poles, struts, or others, that are designed either to support loads or to transmit loads to other parts of the tent or membrane structure. These components are designed to be installed and dismantled repeatedly and to be resistant to weather hazards.

UNSPSC 30241700 Tent and membrane structure framing and covering components is a Class code under which state and local governments procure tents, shade structures, canopies, awnings, and related membrane coverings for parks, recreation facilities, municipal buildings, and special events. Recent solicitations show demand for prefabricated frame-style tents with vinyl or membrane canopies, aluminum-framed shade structures and pavilions, awning systems, and splash pad shade amenities. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county commissioners, higher education facilities departments, and special-purpose park authorities. The code draws activity from a mix of recurring purchasers — the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department and Broward County Parks and Recreation Division appear frequently — alongside one-off municipal projects from smaller jurisdictions.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary representation in Rhode Island and broader exposure across the Southeast and beyond. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Rhode Island's Master Price Agreement 639 for tent rentals and associated equipment serving statewide agency use across municipalities and higher education (enrollment open until January 20, 2028); Rhode Island College's RFQ 27007021 for two frame-style 20' x 30' tents with aluminum tubing and vinyl canopy, quotes due October 20, 2026; the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department's Bid 26P00278 for a two-year catalog discount contract for playground equipment, site furnishings, and surfacing installation and repair across its 200-park portfolio, responses due June 10, 2026, estimated value $4,000,000; Spalding County, Georgia's request for design-build proposals for splash pad installation with integrated shade structures at two parks, proposals due September 22, 2026; the City of St. Petersburg's RFQ 26170 for as-needed vendor contracts for outdoor playgrounds, fitness equipment, water play equipment, and shade structures, responses due April 28, 2026; Broward County Parks and Recreation's SBE-reserved bid for shade structure installation at Quiet Waters Park, due July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County's quote request for a galvalume awning with aluminum framing at Upper Tampa Bay Park Nature Center, due June 12, 2026, estimated at $25,500.
