UNSPSC 31331102: Carbon steel bonded structural assemblies

UNSPSC 31331102 Carbon steel bonded structural assemblies, a Commodity code, covers steel I-beams, metal plates, and fabricated steel components that state and local governments procure for infrastructure repair, facility maintenance, and asset protection. Recent activity under the code shows state and local buyers purchasing both commodity-grade steel products (I-beams and metal plates for structural use) and custom steel fabrication services (anti-vandalism boxes, railings, doors, and protective covers). The issuing bodies include state departments, municipal facilities departments, and county-level purchasing offices; repeat activity appears modest across the recent window.

Activity spans Texas, Illinois, Mississippi, Arizona, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture's Basic Ordering Agreement (Solicitation 26406AGRBLDG4B52030, IFB, due April 30, 2026) for eight 4-inch by 7.7-pound by 15-foot I-beams at $375 per unit and two 4-foot by 8-foot metal plates at $450 per unit to the Illinois State Fair Building and Grounds; the City of Tucson's Request for Proposal (RFP 240080, pre-bid meeting November 16, 2023, proposals due November 30, 2023) for steel fabrication services including custom doors, steel cages, anti-vandalism boxes, and hand railings to its Facilities and Communications Maintenance department, with Section 3 Program requirements mandating 25% of total labor hours performed by Section 3 Workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 Workers; and the City of Philadelphia, Mississippi's sealed-bid solicitation (IFB 3170035505, bids due April 23, 2026) for Blount Street Bridge Repair including timber pile repair, roadway approach repair, and replacement of precast channel beams. The State of Georgia through Ware County solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop (IFB 42000GFC0000445, due February 19, 2026) quoted per foot, square foot, or piece with four-week delivery required.
