UNSPSC 31361700: Riveted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361700 Riveted plate assemblies, a Class code, covers the supply of structural steel components and fabricated plate assemblies that state and local governments procure for infrastructure construction and maintenance. Recent solicitations show that this code captures the furnishing of W-beams, H-piles, I-beams, and metal plates delivered to job sites—components typically used in bridge construction, roadway projects, and facility structural work. Greenville County, South Carolina, and the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture appear as active buyers under this code. Procurement is straightforward and price-driven; evaluations weight cost at 99 percent with responsiveness comprising the remaining 1 percent. Bidders must supply firm pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis, provide three references documenting similar work, submit tax forms and proof of insurance, and accept tight delivery timelines. Performance and Payment Bonds and comprehensive liability coverage ($1 million per occurrence) are standard contract requirements.

Activity is concentrated in South Carolina and Illinois based on recent notices. Greenville County issued two consecutive solicitations—IFB27014 for 24 H-piles in various lengths (posted September 21, 2026, with bids due September 3, 2026) and IFB27022 for 12 W-beams in two weight specifications (posted October 9, 2026, same-day response deadline)—both for delivery to the Bridge Yard in Travelers Rest. The State of Illinois Department of Agriculture solicited I-beams and metal plates under a Basic Ordering Agreement (IFB posted April 27, 2026, due April 30, 2026) with a total contract value of $3,900. The code shows limited recent activity outside these two states; a Broward County, Florida, roadway project notice appears tagged to this code but describes resurfacing and ADA upgrades rather than plate or beam procurement. Response windows are consistently compressed—typically three to seven days—and sealed competitive bidding (IFB) is the dominant procurement vehicle.
