UNSPSC 72152905: Structural iron work service

The erection, repair and maintenance of structural iron works on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72152905 Structural iron work service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure repairs, replacement, and renovation work on building infrastructure and facilities that typically involves structural modifications, interior remodeling, system upgrades, and site restoration. The actual work being solicited diverges significantly from the code's nominal name; recent opportunities span HVAC replacements, roof repairs, sewer and water line replacements, electrical upgrades, fire suppression system installation, pedestrian bridge repairs, building demolition and deconstruction, security camera and access control systems, fire alarm upgrades, and classroom-to-office conversions—a broad portfolio of facility maintenance and capital improvement work that extends well beyond structural steel fabrication. State institutions dominate the issuing-body mix: Washington State Department of Enterprise Services acts as procurement agent for numerous two- and four-year community colleges (Skagit Valley College, Edmonds College, Bellevue College, Tacoma Community College, Walla Walla Community College, Yakima Valley College, Olympia College, Columbia Basin College, Renton Technical College, Whatcom Community College, Bellingham Technical College, Spokane Falls Community College, Highline College) and state behavioral health and correctional facilities; additional buyers include the Washington Departments of Corrections, Social and Health Services, Children Youth and Families, and Labor and Industries; a small number of opportunities from Georgia (Wiregrass Technical College via the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, DeKalb County), California (City of Long Beach), and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, University of Texas at Austin) appear in the recent set. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Washington State, particularly in the Puget Sound region and college district facilities statewide.

Recent opportunities illustrate the breadth of work: the City of Long Beach Department of Public Works (RFQ / Specification R-7296) posted a rebid for office and warehouse improvements to the TID Radio & Asset Services Building encompassing asbestos abatement, ADA-compliant restrooms, millwork, HVAC ductwork and new roof, electrical and lighting systems, plumbing, interior finishes, and vehicle exhaust control systems for a 10,772 square-foot facility, due August 6, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on July 9, 2026 and 10% combined SBE/VSBE/LSBE participation requirement and prevailing wage under a Citywide Project Labor Agreement; the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (RFP 2025410G11) solicited bids for tenant improvements to the 2N and 3N Wards at Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health in Tukwila, including architectural modifications, communications infrastructure expansion, and hazardous materials management within an occupied facility, due June 11, 2026; Renton Technical College (BID 2025551H12) sought bids for interior renovation of Building I bookstore into smaller bookstore and administrative offices, including partitions, flooring, ceilings, and MEP upgrades, due May 28, 2026, with an estimated cost range of $625,000 to $690,000; and Lower Columbia College (BID 2026014G11) posted a comprehensive renovation across five buildings in Longview with selective demolition, roofing, HVAC system replacement (including electric boiler and heat pump units), electrical systems, fire alarm expansion, and a full-building scope, estimated at $1.2 million to $1.4 million with mandatory 15% apprentice labor hours and prevailing wage, due June 23, 2026. Multiple Washington colleges have reposted facility work after rebids, including sewer and storm line replacement, roof repairs, and building renovation. Opportunities typically name response dates 30 to 45 days from posting and include mandatory pre-bid walks and virtual bid openings via Microsoft Teams, with prevailing wage, apprenticeship utilization, and voluntary diverse business goals (10% MBE, 6% WBE, 5% SBE/PWSBE, 5% Veterans) standard across Washington procurements.
