UNSPSC 49241511: Pergoal

A structure used to provide shades or eaves on the house or any structure by laying wood in length or width on the flat roof.

UNSPSC 49241511 Pergola is a Commodity code that covers the design, supply, and installation of outdoor shade and shelter structures in state and local recreation procurement. The work being solicited includes freestanding pergolas, shade canopies, and integrated shade solutions paired with playground equipment, safety surfacing, and site furnishings across parks, schools, and recreation facilities. State and local governments buy pergolas as complementary or standalone components of comprehensive playground renovations, park improvements, and recreation complex upgrades, often bundled with equipment installation, surfacing work, or as part of design-build packages. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county recreation authorities, school districts, and special-purpose recreation districts across multiple states. Typical recent work involves the City of Hinesville, Georgia (RFP 2026-07 for inclusive playground renovation with integrated shade solution due September 25, 2026); Chatham County Parks and Recreation Department (RFP 26-0049-2 for design and installation of playground equipment with shade structures due June 12, 2026); the Academy for Classical Education in Georgia (Notice of Intent under cooperative purchasing for GameTime PowerScape playground systems with Sunblox shade structures, closed May 11, 2026); and County Service Area 20 in Joshua Tree, California (design-build park improvements including Ninja Course with shade structures, sealed bids due June 12, 2026). The work also spans smaller single-structure procurements such as Broward County Parks and Recreation Division's fixed-price shade structure installation at Quiet Waters Park (BLD2132119B1, SBE set-aside, bids due July 13, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hinesville, Chatham County, Academy for Classical Education, Cartersville, Habersham County), with notable Michigan welcome center playground replacement projects (multiple RFQs through the Department of Technology, Management and Budget involving GameTime and Miracle Recreation equipment with shade components), California park design-build work (Joshua Tree CSA 20), and Florida school district playground upgrades (Pinellas County, Richmond County). The code shows strong activity in integrated playground-and-shade procurement across the Southeast and Midwest, with RFP and design-build delivery methods dominating over simpler IFB structures. Vendors should note that pergola and shade work is rarely solicited in isolation; it routinely appears as a component line item within larger playground, park renovation, or recreation facility projects evaluated on design quality, durability, inclusive play features, and total installed cost. Evaluation typically favors commercial-grade construction, weather-resistant materials, ADA compliance, and coordinated design with adjacent equipment and surfacing. Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon requirements apply to many projects, particularly those federally funded through ARPA or grant programs.
