UNSPSC 31163400: Metal nets and screening structures

Assorted nets, baskets and other structures made of wire usually for safety and use at construction sites.

UNSPSC 31163400 Metal nets and screening structures is a Class code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are uniformly for crushed aggregates, stone, riprap, flexible base, recycled concrete, and pavement materials—supply-and-delivery contracts for road maintenance, infrastructure repair, and stormwater management. The nominal code scope (metal nets and screening structures) does not reflect these solicitations. One exception: the Salt Lake City School District's bird netting installation at bus station canopies (IFB DH2707BTN, due September 1, 2026) aligns with the code name but stands alone among seventeen recent opportunities.

Activity under this code appears driven by misclassification. Issuing bodies range across state transportation departments (Mississippi DOT, Texas DOT, Oregon DOT), counties (Pinellas, DeSoto, Santa Clara, Ventura), cities (Amarillo, Austin, Wichita, Fort Worth, Peoria, Columbus), special districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County, Boulder County Parks and Open Space), and one school district. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Georgia, Kansas, Kansas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Department of Transportation's sealed bid for crushed aggregates (RFX 3160008330, due November 2, 2026), the Texas Department of Transportation's 2-inch crushed limestone bid (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Amarillo's rock crusher screenings bid under a local-vendor preference provision (ITB 267-26 YM, due October 15, 2026). If your firm pursues this code, verify the actual commodity before quoting; the UNSPSC classification here does not predict the work.
