UNSPSC 95121627: Footbridge

A bridge allowing pedestrians to span an obstacle while on a path

UNSPSC 95121627 Footbridge (Commodity) represents pedestrian and vehicular bridge structures procured by state and local governments for parks, trails, waterfront facilities, airports, and transportation networks. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing bridge replacement, rehabilitation, repair, and new-construction services across diverse infrastructure contexts—from timber pedestrian bridges at municipal parks to complex prestressed concrete structures over rivers and railroads, swing bridges requiring specialized machinery maintenance, and airport passenger loading bridges. The code encompasses design-build and design-bid-build delivery models, with work ranging from modest bridge approaches and railing repairs to multi-million-dollar replacements involving structural steel fabrication, welding, concrete deck work, and mechanical or electrical systems integration.

Issuing bodies are highly dispersed across municipal and county procurement offices, special-purpose districts, regional authorities, and state departments of transportation. City governments (Tampa, Long Beach, Chattahoochee Hills, Fort Myers, Port Orange, Tustin, College Park, Columbus) and county commissions (Seminole, Hillsborough, Broward, Orange, Clayton, Rockdale, Union, Washington, Sacramento, Montgomery) dominate recent activity; state transportation departments (Georgia DOT) and specialized entities (Atlanta Beltline Inc., Cobb County DOT, Santa Clara County medical-facility capital programs) represent secondary segments. No single repeat buyer dominates; the activity reflects broad, fragmented demand across transportation, parks, and facilities portfolios. Recent opportunities span Florida (Tampa, Port Orange, Seminole County, Orange County, Broward), Georgia (Chattahoochee Hills, Rockdale, Clayton, Columbus, Cobb County, GDOT), California (Long Beach, Boulder County, Santa Clara County), Connecticut (Cheshire), Colorado (Boulder), Pennsylvania (Montgomery), Oregon (Washington County), Texas (Bastrop, Columbus), Mississippi (Marshall), South Carolina (Greenville), and Arizona (Pinal County), with Florida and Georgia showing the highest density of posted solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Chattahoochee Hills' RFP27-001 for Cochran Mill Park Bridge Repair/Replacement (structural steel preparation, painting, welded steel railing fabrication, November 19, 2026 deadline); the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut's IFB for Mixville Park Pedestrian Bridge construction (timber structures, helical pile foundations, precast concrete abutments, November 3, 2026 deadline); Seminole County's Master Services Agreement for Miscellaneous Bridge Repairs (unit-price contract, FDOT prequalification mandatory, November 18, 2026 deadline); Union County, Georgia's RFQ for Spiva Cove Bridge Replacement and culvert repair (concrete bridge construction, E-Verify required, November 11, 2026 deadline); and Hillsborough County's IFB for Columbus Drive Bridge #105504 painting and repair (swing-bridge machinery maintenance and coating work, November 10, 2026 deadline, $1.652 million per-day liquidated damages). Evaluation criteria commonly emphasize cost, technical qualifications and past experience with similar municipal bridge work, project approach and schedule, safety and environmental controls, and compliance with prevailing wage and bonding standards.
