UNSPSC 72121402: Fire station construction service

The building of fire stations owned by others

UNSPSC 72121402 Fire station construction service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure the design and construction of new fire stations and comprehensive renovation and expansion of existing stations to meet operational and life-safety standards. Recent solicitations span new-build facilities, major expansions adding sleeping quarters and gear storage, renovation of residential and administrative spaces, system upgrades for fire protection and apparatus bays, and equipment integration including communications infrastructure, emergency power, and apparatus bay functionality maintained during phased construction. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal fire departments, and special districts across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and California. Counties and cities are the primary repeat buyers, with notable recent activity from Orange County Florida (two fire station projects), Escambia County Florida, Clay County Florida, City of Temple Texas, and DeKalb County Georgia. The code shows steady procurement volume across new construction and substantial renovation projects, typically awarded through sealed bids or competitive proposals with response periods of 60–90 days from posting.

Geographic spread centers on Florida counties (Orange, Clay, Escambia, Volusia, Seminole), Texas municipalities (Temple, Frisco), and Georgia jurisdictions (DeKalb, Union City, South Fulton), with additional activity in Connecticut and California. Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB for Paradise Beach Fire Station 20—a new 12,780-square-foot, three-bay station with mandatory pre-bid July 20, 2026, and bids due August 12, 2026; City of Temple issuing RFP for Fire Station No. 4 Renovation & Expansion with architect's estimate of $1,882,650 and proposals due August 4, 2026; and Orange County Florida issuing sealed bids for Fire Station #31 Replacement, a new approximately 16,000-square-foot, two-story facility with estimated cost of $9,900,000 and bids due February 19, 2026. Typical scope encompasses site development, MEP systems, fire protection and alarm infrastructure, apparatus bay design for equipment operations, living quarters and support spaces, and landscape and utility work, with contract periods of 12–24 months from Notice to Proceed. Bid bonds, performance bonds, and comprehensive insurance (including general liability of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence and workers' compensation) are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
