UNSPSC 31361100: Bonded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361100 Bonded plate assemblies, a Class code, encompasses structural steel components—W-beams, H-piles, I-beams, and metal plates—that state and local governments procure for bridge construction, roadway infrastructure, and facilities maintenance. The work solicited under this code involves furnishing and delivering fabricated steel members to specification, with evaluation typically dominated by price and delivery capability. Issuing bodies include county transportation and engineering divisions, state departments overseeing capital infrastructure, and special districts managing public facilities. Greenville County, South Carolina emerges as an active repeat buyer, having posted multiple IFBs for structural steel components within the past two months.

Recent activity concentrates in South Carolina and Florida, with two Greenville County IFBs posted in September and October 2026—IFB27014 for 24 H-piles (12 at 30 feet and 12 at 40 feet in length) with a September 3, 2026 due date, and IFB27022 for 12 W-beams in two configurations with a due date of October 9, 2026. Both solicitations specify F.O.B. destination delivery to Greenville County's Bridge Yard in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, require performance and payment bonds where applicable, demand firm pricing on net 30-day payment terms, and weight evaluation 99 percent on price and 1 percent on responsiveness. Illinois also shows recent activity with a state Department of Agriculture small purchase (solicitation 26406AGRBLDG4B52030, due April 30, 2026) for I-beams and metal plates. The Broward County, Florida roadway project (TRN2132636C1) includes structural steel work as part of a larger infrastructure contract. All recent IFBs require three references documenting similar work and standard liability insurance; suppliers must submit W-9 forms and delivery timelines from purchase-order issuance.
