UNSPSC 30251505: Rib mat

Metal used in conjunction with roof bolt to support roof in underground mining.

UNSPSC 30251505 Rib mat is a Commodity code that does not accurately reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no actual rib mat purchases; instead, the code is tagged to roofing system replacement, repair, and maintenance work across multiple jurisdictions and building types. State and local governments are buying comprehensive roof replacement projects (membrane systems, asphalt shingles, TPO, standing-seam metal, and modified bitumen), emergency repair services, gutter and flashing work, and indefinite-quantity as-needed roofing contractor services—none of which are rib mats or related roofing underlayment products.

The issuing bodies include cities (Madison, Tucson, Jackson, Tybee Island, Ocala, Tallahassee, Fort Worth, College Park, Colquitt), counties (Santa Clara, Okaloosa, Volusia, DeKalb, Rockdale, Liberty, Fulton), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, DeKalb County School District, Liberty County School System), a community college (Houston City College), a university (West Texas A&M University), a transit authority (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties). Roofing repair and replacement work appears across Wisconsin, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Arizona, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Madison Engineering's Normal Hall Roof Replacement (RFB, due August 6, 2026), involving removal and replacement of a 3,600-square-foot asphalt shingle roof with compliance for historic landmark and burial site requirements; the City of Tucson's solicitation for an extensive catalog of roofing parts and supplies (RFB, due July 29, 2026) under ARPA compliance; and the Austin Independent School District's on-call urgent roof repair services across district facilities (IFB, due May 12, 2026), covering low-slope, steep-slope, and portable classroom roofs. The code shows substantial recent activity in the roofing services space but minimal relevance to rib mat products themselves; business development professionals should verify whether their rib mat or roofing underlayment product aligns with the actual scope of work being solicited before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
