UNSPSC 11101504: Pyrite

UNSPSC 11101504 Pyrite (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes pyrite, a mineral used historically in sulfuric acid production and specialized industrial applications, but the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve irrigation system installation, structural metals supply, and law enforcement equipment procurement — none of which concern pyrite or align with the code's mineral-extraction or chemical-feedstock scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local governments for its intended purpose.

The absence of genuine pyrite-related solicitations indicates this code warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit. If state and local procurement offices require pyrite — whether as an industrial reagent, laboratory material, or niche component — they may be coding opportunities incorrectly, routing them through related materials codes, or sourcing through state contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements that do not surface individually. Business development professionals should verify whether their pyrite supply or services capability maps to a higher-tier Family or Class code in the ferrous or nonferrous minerals categories, or monitor whether recent miscoding reflects a broader recategorization effort by state procurement offices.
