UNSPSC 31331102: Carbon steel bonded structural assemblies

UNSPSC 31331102 Carbon steel bonded structural assemblies, a Commodity code, covers fabricated steel beams and structural components that state and local governments procure for bridge construction, infrastructure repair, and facility projects. Recent solicitations show demand for W-beams, H-piles, and I-beams delivered to project sites on a firm-price, F.O.B. destination basis. County transportation and infrastructure departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with Greenville County, South Carolina and Broward County, Florida posting multiple structural steel solicitations in the past two months. Work is evaluated almost entirely on price (typically 99 percent) with minimal weighting to responsiveness or references, and suppliers must often provide three references documenting similar work and maintain specified levels of general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Greenville County posted two recent IFBs: IFB27022 for W-beams (four 27-inch, 114-pound-per-foot beams and eight 27-inch, 94-pound-per-foot beams, all 27 feet long) due October 9, 2026, and IFB27014 for H-piles (24 total: twelve 12-inch, 53-pound-per-linear-foot piles at 30 feet and twelve at 40 feet) with a September 3, 2026 response date. Both required delivery to the Bridge Yard at 98 Camp Road, Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and incorporated Performance and Payment Bonds and ninety-calendar-day project completion windows with liquidated damages clauses. The State of Illinois Department of Agriculture solicited eight 4-inch by 7.7-pound by 15-foot I-beams and two metal plates under a Basic Ordering Agreement (26406AGRBLDG4B52030) with a $3,900 total value and April 30, 2026 response date. Geographic activity concentrates in South Carolina and Florida, with isolated activity in Illinois; South Carolina remains the most active recent market for this commodity code.
