UNSPSC 11101511: Calcium

UNSPSC 11101511 Calcium is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code show substantial misalignment: the City of DeBary's irrigation system improvement involves Hunter controller equipment and piping, the City of Fort Worth's RFP targets structural metals (aluminum, iron, rebar, steel), and Sourcewell's cooperative procurement covers law enforcement equipment. None of these solicitations center on calcium as a raw material, chemical input, or finished product. State and local governments do not appear to be actively buying calcium through this code at present, or the opportunities being tagged to 11101511 reflect data-entry errors in the originating procurement systems rather than genuine calcium sourcing activity.

The geographic spread evident in the three misfiled opportunities spans Florida (DeBary), Texas (Fort Worth), and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota (Sourcewell serving Washington state and nationally). Without concrete examples of actual calcium procurement—whether as agricultural lime, food-grade additive, pharmaceutical ingredient, or industrial chemical—the code does not support a pursue recommendation at this time. Business development professionals should monitor whether future postings under 11101511 correct this tagging misalignment or whether the code remains a low-signal category in state and local procurement activity.
