UNSPSC 72121201: Farm building construction service

The building of farm buildings owned by others

UNSPSC 72121201 Farm building construction service is a Commodity code that encompasses the design and construction of specialized agricultural structures, including barns, greenhouses, storage facilities, and ancillary farm buildings. State and local governments procure under this code when constructing or upgrading facilities to support agricultural extension programs, educational initiatives, county fair operations, livestock management, and equipment storage on publicly owned properties.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county agricultural departments, educational institutions, and parks and recreation authorities. Cedar Springs Public Schools in Michigan, Colquitt County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and Eastern Connecticut Conservation District represent the recent mix—school districts seeking greenhouse infrastructure for AgScience and FFA programs, counties building metal storage and shelter structures for maintenance and agricultural operations, and conservation districts funding barn construction for dairy operations. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent opportunities in Georgia, Michigan, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Cedar Springs Public Schools' RFP for a fully enclosed single-bay greenhouse supply and installation (Solicitation RFPCSP2700000000831, response due October 26, 2026, approximately $50,000 base scope); Colquitt County's sealed bids for a 30-by-30-foot metal agricultural storage building adjacent to its Agricultural Building in Moultrie (Solicitation PE77891NONST2027000000107, bids due November 2, 2026); and Eastern Connecticut Conservation District's proposal for design and construction of a 136-by-336-foot free-stall barn with attached facilities and manure management system at Valley View Farm in North Stonington (Solicitation 39158, proposals due November 1, 2026). Contracts typically range from $90,000 to $6.24 million for larger sports complex or specialized facility projects, with performance periods of three to ten months and firm fixed-price or lump-sum structures. Bidders must meet state and local licensing requirements, provide proof of relevant project experience, maintain performance and payment bonds, and comply with applicable building codes and environmental standards including NRCS specifications where federal or state funding applies.
