UNSPSC 31331702: Carbon steel riveted structural assemblies

UNSPSC 31331702 Carbon steel riveted structural assemblies is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure structural steel components—principally W-beams, H-piles, I-beams, and metal plates—for bridge construction, roadway infrastructure projects, and facility maintenance. Recent solicitations show that counties and state departments are buying fabricated steel members by specification (dimensions, weight per linear foot, length, grade, and ASTM designation) with F.O.B. destination delivery to project sites. Evaluation typically weights price at 99 percent and responsiveness or technical compliance at 1 percent, with firm pricing on net 30-day terms and unit pricing governing extended totals. Bidders must provide references, submit insurance documentation (general liability and workers' compensation as specified), and often post performance and payment bonds. The issuing bodies include county departments (bridge and transportation divisions) and state agencies, with sealed IFB and ITB processes dominating the competitive structure.

Greenville County, South Carolina has posted multiple recent opportunities under this code: IFB27022 for W-beams (posted October 9, 2026, due October 9, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., for delivery to the Bridge Yard in Travelers Rest) and IFB27014 for H-piles (posted September 21, 2026, due September 3, 2026, also to the Travelers Rest Bridge Yard). The State of Illinois Department of Agriculture solicited metal I-beams and plates for the State Fair Building and Grounds (26406AGRBLDG4B52030, posted April 27, 2026, due April 30, 2026, total contract value $3,900). A broader roadway project under UNSPSC 72141000 (Royal Palm Boulevard, Broward County, posted August 12, 2026) included structural components but represented primary infrastructure work rather than pure material supply. South Carolina and Illinois show recent sustained activity; no other states appear in the recent opportunity set.
