UNSPSC 11101504: Pyrite

UNSPSC 11101504 Pyrite (Commodity) represents mineral and raw material procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with pyrite as a material input. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026 with responses due July 23, 2026, solicits structural steel, aluminum, iron, rebar, expanded metal, and grating on an as-needed basis — materials tangentially related to industrial minerals but not pyrite specifically. Vendors must demonstrate five years' experience supplying these products in various grades and finishes, maintain inventory or supplier access for 48-hour delivery to Fort Worth locations, and comply with ASTM, ANSI, and AISC standards. The City has established a 30 percent small business participation goal, requiring certified small businesses from Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County. Additional opportunities in the source—a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and a City of DeBary irrigation system improvement IFB—carry no direct connection to pyrite procurement and appear to be code-tagging mismatches. Issuing bodies in the relevant Fort Worth opportunity include municipal procurement offices; the code shows limited recent state and local activity specifically for pyrite sourcing.

Activity under UNSPSC 11101504 is concentrated in Texas, with the Fort Worth RFP as the primary concrete opportunity in the dataset. The Fort Worth solicitation emphasizes vendor experience, delivery capability within 48 hours, inventory access, and cost on a best-value basis; evaluation criteria weight cost at 15 points, small business participation at 25 points, vendor experience and past performance at 25 points, delivery capabilities at 20 points, and local business location within Fort Worth City Limits at 15 points. Initial contract term runs one year with options for five additional one-year renewals. The code does not support sufficient recent activity to characterize broader geographic spread or repeat-buyer patterns; practitioners evaluating pursuit should verify that pyrite is actually being sourced under this code or confirm whether the Fort Worth materials solicitation and other tagged opportunities represent classification drift rather than genuine commodity demand.
