UNSPSC 30263502: Lead strip

Strip of various sizes produced from lead

UNSPSC 30263502 Lead strip is a Commodity code, and recent state and local activity shows little direct procurement of lead strip as a discrete product line. The most relevant recent solicitation is the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin's Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026), which encompasses exterior surface preparation, gutter and downspout installation, soffit and fascia replacement, painting, and caulking — work that may involve lead-bearing materials in renovation contexts, particularly Davis-Bacon-compliant prevailing-wage projects on residential properties. The three other recent opportunities tagged under this code — Pasco County's underground utility locating services, Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment cooperative procurement, and Collier County's pool and aquatic facility maintenance — show minimal or no connection to lead strip procurement and appear to reflect miscoding at the source. State and local purchasing offices do acquire lead-bearing products in building renovation and weatherization contexts, but the code's representation in recent solicitations is sparse and dominated by work that bundles multiple materials and services rather than lead strip as a standalone line item.

No recent opportunities isolate lead strip as a discrete procurement. The Madison authority's painting and siding project represents the strongest signal — a prevailing-wage renovation with material-approval gates and a two-month contract term — but the solicitation does not separately itemize lead strip or reference lead hazard remediation, suggesting lead materials, if present, are subsidiary to the broader scope. Geographic activity is limited: the source documents Wisconsin and Florida municipal work, plus a multi-state cooperative housing law enforcement equipment (unrelated to this code). Bidders pursuing work under this code should expect opportunities to arise embedded within larger building renovation, remediation, or weatherization contracts rather than as standalone lead strip supply or installation solicitations, and should monitor state and local environmental and historic-preservation programs where lead abatement compliance drives material specification and sourcing.
