UNSPSC 11101500: Minerals

UNSPSC 11101500 Minerals is a Class code that covers structural metals and bulk materials—aluminum, steel, rebar, iron, and related fabricated products—that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for construction, maintenance, and infrastructure work. The City of Fort Worth's RFP for non-exclusive aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel supply (RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026) exemplifies the scope: vendors must carry inventory or secured supplier access to fulfill routine and emergency orders within 48 hours, comply with ASTM and AISC standards, and meet a 30 percent small business participation goal. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal governments and county utilities; the Fort Worth solicitation requires vendor experience of at least five years in structural steel, aluminum, iron, and reinforced materials in various grades and finishes, with delivery to city-designated locations during standard business hours.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with the Fort Worth RFP being the most substantive and recent opportunity under this code. The source provides no additional state or local solicitations directly aligned with the Minerals Class code scope. One opportunity—a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026)—was tagged to this code but addresses equipment procurement unrelated to structural metals and does not reflect typical Minerals Class activity. Geographic spread and repeat-buyer signals are insufficient to characterize; the Fort Worth opportunity stands as the primary current signal under this code at the state and local level.
