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, encompasses the supply and installation of pre-engineered metal and timber structures for agricultural, recreational, and operational storage purposes at state and local facilities. State and local buyers solicit barns and barn-like structures—including pre-fabricated metal shelters, pole buildings, and agricultural storage facilities—through competitive sealed bids, IFBs, and RFQs issued by county commissions, city governments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Recent opportunities show counties and municipalities procuring single metal structures ranging from modest 16-by-24-foot shelters to larger 50-by-72-foot pole barns, typically at budgets under $100,000 for smaller projects and into the low six figures for more substantial builds.

Issuing bodies are primarily county boards of commissioners and municipal purchasing departments in the Southeast and Midwest. Colquitt County, Georgia has posted multiple barn and shelter solicitations in October 2026 alone (agricultural storage, prison shelter, and shop warehouse), signaling concentrated demand from a single county; DeSoto County, Florida requested a 50-by-72-foot pre-fabricated metal pole barn in August 2026; Cedar Springs Public Schools in Michigan solicited a 32-by-60-foot greenhouse in October 2026. Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and other states with strong agricultural or correctional infrastructure demand. Representative recent opportunities include Colquitt County's sealed bid for a 30-by-30-foot metal agricultural storage building (ITB due November 2, 2026, mandatory pre-bid October 20), requiring bidders to demonstrate five years of metal building installation experience and provide a 20-year workmanship warranty; DeSoto County's quote for a 50-by-72-by-14-foot pre-engineered metal pole barn with 26-gauge roof and 140 mph wind-load compliance for equipment storage at Turner Center (proposals due September 1, 2026); and Cedar Springs Public Schools' sealed bid for a fully enclosed single-bay greenhouse with heating, cooling, lighting, and automatic temperature control systems for FFA Program use (bids due October 26, 2026, base proposal and alternate bench pricing).
