UNSPSC 31331502: Carbon steel solvent welded structural assemblies

UNSPSC 31331502 Carbon steel solvent welded structural assemblies, a Commodity code, encompasses custom metal fabrication and structural steel supply work that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and asset protection. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for steel I-beams and metal plates, custom steel fabrication services including doors and railings, and general steel stock deliveries to support maintenance operations and construction projects. The issuing-body mix includes state agencies (Texas Workforce Commission, State of Illinois Department of Agriculture, State of Georgia via Ware County), cities (City of Tucson, City of Philadelphia, Mississippi), and their subordinate maintenance and facilities divisions. Buyers expect vendors to be established manufacturers or authorized dealers with demonstrated capabilities in metal fabrication, machining, welding, and material finishing; deliver clean, rust-free stock within tight timelines; carry required commercial liability and worker's compensation insurance; and comply with prevailing wage and federal employment opportunity standards where applicable.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture's Basic Ordering Agreement (posted April 27, 2026, due April 30, 2026) for eight I-beams and two metal plates totaling $3,900.00 with 30-day delivery; the City of Tucson's RFP 240080 for steel fabrication services (due November 30, 2023) covering custom doors, cages, railings, and protective infrastructure with a Section 3 program requirement of 25 percent labor hours from Section 3 Workers; the State of Georgia's steel procurement through Ware County (posted February 12, 2026, due February 19, 2026) for forestry commission shop stock requiring four-week delivery; and the City of Philadelphia, Mississippi's bridge repair project (posted April 16, 2026, due April 23, 2026) involving precast beam replacement and timber pile repair. Set-asides and socioeconomic preferences vary by jurisdiction; the Tucson procurement explicitly mandates federal DBE and Section 3 compliance.
