UNSPSC 30265300: Iron bars

Bars of various cross sections produced from various types of iron

UNSPSC 30265300 Iron bars is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect purchase of iron bars themselves. Instead, the single recent opportunity shows the code being applied to mobile welding and fabrication services — on-site repair work using welded steel components and metal stock as inputs rather than finished iron bars as end products. This mismatch suggests either miscoding or that the code in practice captures metal fabrication and repair services more broadly than its nominal scope implies. State and local procurement offices do not regularly solicit iron bars as discrete line items in the records available; the activity under this code reflects welding contractors providing labor and materials for equipment repair and fabrication at public facilities.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued the representative recent opportunity — a three-year ITB for mobile welding services at its Solid Waste Management Department South County Facility, with bids due September 16, 2026. The contract, estimated at $207,429.10, covers on-site repairs to roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, excavators, stationary cranes, and related equipment, with pricing structured on unit rates for labor (journeyman welders, apprentices, emergency callouts) and materials including steel plates, channels, angle iron, tubing, pipes, flat bars, wheels, and axles. The contractor must respond to service calls within four hours during standard business hours and complete emergency repairs within 24 hours. Required insurance includes $1 million Commercial General Liability, $1 million Automobile Liability, and $1 million Professional Liability, with a one-year warranty on all repairs. The code shows minimal recent activity in the available opportunities pool, limiting visibility into other issuing bodies or geographic spread.
