UNSPSC 46211601: Work area barricade tape and flags

Workplace safety materials that help identify areas that should not be used by visitors

UNSPSC 46211601 Work area barricade tape and flags (Commodity) covers traffic control consumables and signage that state and local governments procure for work-zone safety and law-enforcement operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying traffic barricades, warning flags, barricade tape, and related hardware for street and construction-zone management, alongside forensic and crime-scene supplies for police departments — a scope mismatch that suggests the code is tagged inconsistently across jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Dallas), county sheriff and emergency-response agencies (Harris County), and municipal departments managing public works and traffic control. The work is straightforward goods procurement with vendor selection typically based on lowest responsive bid and compliance with local wage and insurance requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with recent solicitations from the City of Dallas and Harris County. The City of Dallas posted an IFB for traffic barricades, warning lights, signs, and hardware as a thirty-six-month ID/IQ master agreement due March 6, 2026, with delivery FOB Dallas sites and no shipping charges billable to the City. Harris County Sheriff's Office issued an ITB for crime-scene supplies and forensic items due June 8, 2026, covering a one-year term beginning June 1, 2026, with requirements for local account management, bi-monthly meetings, and minimum insurance coverage including $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence. The Dallas Police Department separately solicited forensic equipment via IFB due June 26, 2026, requiring all products new and unopened in original packaging with FOB delivery to the Crime Scene Response facility. Compliance typically includes living wage requirements on contracts exceeding $50,000, debarment certification, and tax-residency verification with the jurisdiction.
