UNSPSC 95131605: Shipping container house

A mobile freight shipping structure converted into a commercial or residential unit.

UNSPSC 95131605 Shipping container house is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments actually procure under this taxonomy designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve conventional construction—hangar facilities, storage buildings, prefabricated steel booths, metal structures, and building system installations—none of which are shipping container conversions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county boards of commissioners (Flagler County, Bacon County, Sarasota County), city governments (Santa Cruz, Beaufort, Owensboro, Cibolo), specialized authorities (Texas Facilities Commission, Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and university systems (Texas A&M, Augusta University). Geographic spread spans Florida (multiple counties), Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, California, Colorado, and Kentucky, with the densest recent activity in Florida and Georgia.

Representative recent opportunities include Flagler County's ITB for two hurricane-resilient buildings at the Fairgrounds (due August 17, 2026), Beaufort County's design-build solicitation for a 120-foot by 60-foot transient aircraft hangar at Executive Airport (due May 8, 2026, with updated activity through June 2026), the City of Santa Cruz's IFB for concrete pad and utilities to support a metal storage building at Fire Station #3 (due May 19, 2026), and the City of Cumming's sealed proposal request for design, engineering, fabrication, delivery, and erection of a pre-engineered metal building (due June 4, 2026). None of these solicitations involve shipping container structures or container-based housing, signaling a fundamental mismatch between the code's intent and actual procurement activity. This code warrants low priority unless your firm specializes in mainstream modular or prefabricated building systems rather than container conversions.
