UNSPSC 11101502: Emery

UNSPSC 11101502 Emery, a Commodity code, encompasses abrasive materials used in grinding, polishing, and surface-finishing applications that state and local governments purchase for maintenance and repair work across facilities and infrastructure. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope — one opportunity solicits structural metals (aluminum, iron, rebar, steel) for city supply, another seeks law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and a third involves park irrigation system installation. None of these represent emery or abrasive products, signaling that the code sees little relevant recent procurement activity or that recent solicitations have been misclassified against it.

The City of Fort Worth posted an RFP (26-0222) on June 24, 2026, due July 23, 2026, for non-exclusive supply of aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis, with a 30 percent small business participation goal targeting Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, and Denton County-based certified firms and requiring five years' minimum experience in structural metals and 48-hour delivery capability. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for law enforcement equipment to serve thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canada through its participating-entity framework. The City of DeBary, Florida issued a construction bid for irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park with an Engineer's estimate of $90,000. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities incorrectly or that emery-specific purchasing under this code does not generate sufficient recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity to create a meaningful market signal.
