UNSPSC 31361200: Bolted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361200 Bolted plate assemblies is a Class code that describes structural steel components, but the recent state and local activity under this code centers on direct procurement of W-beams, H-piles, I-beams, and metal plates for bridge construction, roadway infrastructure, and facility maintenance. County highway and public works departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with Greenville County, South Carolina appearing as a repeat buyer on two recent IFBs for structural steel delivered to its Bridge Yard. The scope of work involves furnishing and delivering finished steel structural components to specific project sites, with evaluation weighted heavily on cost (99 percent) and responsiveness (1 percent), firm pricing based on net-30 payment terms, F.O.B. destination delivery, and bonding requirements tied to total contract value. Contractors must provide references for similar work, maintain general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and specify steel grades and ASTM designations where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in South Carolina and Florida, with Greenville County posting two sealed-bid opportunities in September and October 2026—IFB27014 for 24 H-piles (12 @ 30 feet, 12 @ 40 feet) due September 3, 2026, and IFB27022 for 12 W-beams (four @ 114 pounds per foot, eight @ 94 pounds per foot) due October 9, 2026—both to support bridge yard operations. Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division issued a larger roadway construction IFB (TRN2132636C1) in August 2026 for Royal Palm Boulevard resurfacing and infrastructure upgrades in Coral Springs, Florida, due September 14, with $2.492 million estimated cost and a 30-percent self-performance requirement. The State of Illinois Department of Agriculture posted a small Basic Ordering Agreement in April 2026 (26406AGRBLDG4B52030) for I-beams and metal plates totaling $3,900. Delivery timelines, logistics coordination with utilities, and FDOT prequalification for federal-aid projects are recurring requirements in the recent solicitations.
