UNSPSC 72121200: Agricultural building construction services

The building of agricultural buildings owned by others

UNSPSC 72121200 Agricultural building construction services is a Class code that encompasses construction of farm structures, irrigation systems, and agricultural storage facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure metal buildings, barns, greenhouses, irrigation upgrades, and specialized agricultural infrastructure. Recent activity shows county governments and special districts issuing the majority of solicitations, with school districts and conservation agencies also participating. The issuing bodies span rural and suburban counties across multiple states, with Colquitt County, Georgia appearing multiple times in recent months for metal storage buildings, shelters, and agricultural facilities. Work typically involves design-build or turnkey metal building erection, concrete foundations, utility connections, and compliance with state and local building codes and wind-load standards specific to agricultural use. Cedar Springs Public Schools sought a fully enclosed single-bay greenhouse with climate control and grow-light systems; Eastern Connecticut Conservation District solicited a comprehensive free-stall dairy barn with manure management facilities including concrete storage tanks and subsurface drainage; and Colquitt County issued multiple competitive bids for metal agricultural storage buildings, equipment shelters, and a shop warehouse structure.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Southeast and Midwest. Florida counties (Colquitt, Flagler, DeSoto, and Orange) issued multiple solicitations for agricultural and operational facilities; Connecticut and Georgia each posted conservation and county facility projects; and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department solicited historical barn restoration. Responses due in the recent window (August–October 2026) include Colquitt County's requests for an agricultural complex facility, metal barn storage, and equipment shelter (all due November 2, 2026, IFB format); Cedar Springs Public Schools' greenhouse procurement (October 26, 2026, sealed bids); DeSoto County's pole barn supply and installation (September 1, 2026, quotes); the St. Johns River Water Management District's red iron pole barn (July 22, 2026, ITB 16342); and Eastern Connecticut Conservation District's free-stall dairy barn design-build (November 1, 2026, RFP). Typical contract values range from $90,000 (City of DeBary irrigation improvement) to $6.24 million (Collier County's Immokalee Sports Complex, which includes related site work beyond pure agricultural buildings). Most solicitations require bidders to hold state contractor licenses, provide performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value, maintain workers' compensation and general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence common), and demonstrate relevant experience with completed comparable projects.
