UNSPSC 72152900: Structural steel erection services

The erection and maintenance of structural steel components on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72152900 Structural steel erection services, a Class code, encompasses the installation and assembly of structural steel frameworks, steel column and beam systems, and related support structures in building construction and renovation projects. State and local governments procure structural steel work primarily through public higher education institutions, state departments managing facilities and infrastructure, and municipal governments undertaking capital improvements. The work varies from new construction of specialized facilities to retrofit and renovation of existing structures, often bundled within larger building projects requiring mixed-trade coordination.

Recent solicitations show the code concentrated in Washington State higher education and state facilities procurement.
