UNSPSC 95131600: Portable commercial and industrial buildings and structures

UNSPSC 95131600 Portable commercial and industrial buildings and structures is a Class code covering the supply, fabrication, delivery, and installation of prefabricated and modular building systems for state and local government facilities. State and local governments buy under this code to rapidly deploy temporary or permanent workspace, storage, equipment shelters, administrative facilities, and specialized structures without lengthy traditional construction cycles. Recent solicitations span portable office trailers, pre-engineered metal buildings, fiberglass equipment shelters, modular workspace facilities, and purpose-built structures like fire stations, senior centers, maintenance barns, and pavilions, with fabrication and installation typically bundled as turn-key procurements.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Marion County, DeSoto County, Orange County, Indian River County), cities (DeBary, Port Orange, Sandy Springs, Cibolo, Santa Cruz, Gainesville, Tucson), state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, California Department of Food and Agriculture, Texas Military Department, Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet), school districts (Salt Lake City School District, Bibb County Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and special districts (Broward County Transportation Department, Atlanta Beltline). Geographic spread centers on Florida (multiple county and municipal utilities, corrections, and parks procurements), Texas (TxDOT, Texas A&M, Camp Mabry), California (SCVMC, Santa Clara County medical facilities, Santa Cruz library), and scattered activity across Georgia, Arizona, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Maintenance Barn seeking a 25-foot by 40-foot by 14-foot A-frame steel building (Bid 05-15, due May 2015, estimated cost $16,000); the Texas Department of Transportation's Sierra Blanca Maintenance Facility Fabric Salt Shed (Solicitation 2418592602, ITB, bids due December 2, 2026); Beaufort County's design-build solicitation for an eight-bay T-hangar and 50-by-50-foot box hangar at Beaufort Executive Airport (RFP, proposals due July 28, 2026); and the City of Tucson's design-build Amphi Housing Resource Center adaptive reuse of Fire Station Eight into a low-barrier shelter (ITB, sealed bids due August 14, 2026, HUD-funded with Davis-Bacon and Section 3 requirements). The code sees active procurement across varied facility types—modular office workspace, equipment and monitoring shelters, aircraft hangars, temporary fire stations, senior centers, water operations buildings, and specialized structures—with delivery and installation responsibilities typically assigned to single-source contractors managing design (where required), permitting, fabrication, logistics, and on-site commissioning.
