UNSPSC 95122501: Barn

A building used for the housing of various yard animals and or the storage of associated feed

UNSPSC 95122501 Barn, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of prefabricated or site-built barn structures for public facilities, agricultural extension operations, and utility infrastructure support. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities using this code to acquire custom-engineered pole barns, hurricane-resilient agricultural buildings, and utility storage structures — typically through IFB and RFP vehicles with responses from specialized fabrication and construction firms. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Flagler County, Pasco County), state universities (University of Georgia System), and county utility authorities. Work is concentrated across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with representative opportunities including Flagler County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-ITB-019 for two hurricane-resilient fairgrounds buildings (response deadline August 17, 2026); Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB-SV-26-056 for a 54-by-52-foot engineered pole barn at the Shady Hills Wastewater Treatment Plant (response deadline April 7, 2026); and University of Georgia System's ITB solicitation for grain bin purchase and installation at Midville College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (response deadline March 16, 2026).

Most opportunities on this code require sealed-bid submission through county procurement portals or traditional mail delivery, with mandatory or non-mandatory pre-bid meetings and on-site inspections common. Evaluation typically favors lowest responsive, responsible bidders meeting technical specifications for structural engineering, roofing systems (including wind-rated materials), metal or composite cladding, and foundation work. Insurance, bonding, and prevailing wage compliance are standard requirements; local vendor preferences appear in a minority of solicitations (notably Flagler County's 12-month local-residency criterion for employees). Delivery timelines range from 30 to 150 days post-notice to proceed, with liquidated damages running $250 to $884 per day for delays. Contract values disclosed range from under $90,000 to approximately $2.8 million across recent opportunities, though many lack published budgets. The code shows steady activity across Q1 and Q2 2026, with no apparent seasonal concentration, and represents a narrow but recurring procurement stream in county facility operations and agricultural support.
