UNSPSC 95141802: Emergency tent or hall

Tents or halls used to deal with emergency situations, that were pre-constructed at one location and erected at another location

UNSPSC 95141802 Emergency tent or hall, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve substantial permanent building construction—senior center expansions, airport hangars, fire stations, detention facilities, municipal courts, and utility plants—rather than temporary emergency shelter or tent procurement. The code's actual use in state and local procurement diverges sharply from the emergency-shelter framing the code name suggests. When a jurisdiction posts a 2,710-square-foot permanent senior center addition or a new courthouse, the UNSPSC taxonomy appears misapplied; those deliverables fall squarely into permanent facility construction, not emergency tents or temporary halls.

Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Collier, Flagler, Catoosa, Bacon), municipalities (Orange County, Beaufort, Apopka, various Georgia cities), a county housing authority, and university systems. Georgia jurisdictions—particularly county governments and city development authorities—account for a substantial share of the recent postings. Florida counties (Collier, Flagler, Orange) also show repeat activity. Recent opportunities span design-build RFPs for aircraft hangars (Beaufort County, South Carolina; Bacon County, Georgia), county jail expansions and renovations (Catoosa County; Orange County), and specialized facilities like senior centers, fire stations, and detention infrastructure. Representative recent activity includes Collier County Board of Commissioners' IFB 26-8672 for the Senior Center Expansion (bids due August 31, 2026, at $5.6 million) and Flagler County's ITB for two hurricane-resilient buildings at the Fairgrounds (bids due August 17, 2026). The geographic spread centers on Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in South Carolina, Texas, and California. The code shows little relevant recent activity for emergency tent or portable shelter procurement and warrants reassessment against the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it.
