UNSPSC 30264409: Carbon steel SAE 1500 series hot rolled strip

Strip of various sizes produced from SAE 1500 hot rolled carbon steel

UNSPSC 30264409 Carbon steel SAE 1500 series hot rolled strip is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations captures mobile welding and fabrication services — on-site repair work using multiple arc-welding processes and related metal-working operations (cutting, brazing, soldering, heating) on equipment and structures rather than procurement of the steel material itself. The code appears in opportunities from county solid waste management departments and state workforce agencies, though the recent posting mix is too small to characterize a dominant issuing-body pattern. Work under this code spans emergency and routine repairs on heavy equipment including roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, excavators, and stationary cranes, with contractors furnishing labor, tools, equipment, and materials and responding to service calls within contractually specified timeframes.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 2600389 in August 2026 for three-year mobile welding and fabrication services at solid waste facilities, with sealed bids due September 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time and an estimated contract value of $207,429.10. The scope includes on-site repairs at four South County Facility locations with four-hour response times during business hours and 24-hour response for emergency repairs. Pricing is structured as unit rates across fifty-six line items covering journeyman and apprentice welding labor, emergency services, and materials (steel plates, channels, angle iron, tubing, pipes, flat bars, wheels, axles, hinges, paint), with annual price adjustments based on the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index. A one-year warranty on all repairs and components, Commercial General Liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), and drug-free workplace certification under Florida Statute 287.087 are mandatory. A second recent posting under this code — Texas Workforce Commission IW252223 in June 2026 — appears to tag IT infrastructure modernization work unrelated to the code's welding and materials scope, suggesting potential misclassification in state and local coding workflows.
