UNSPSC 11101516: Nephelite

UNSPSC 11101516 Nephelite, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains three recent opportunities, none of which involves nephelite procurement. The City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) solicits aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis — structural metals and alloys unrelated to nephelite, a feldspathoid mineral. Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) procures law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington counties and a nationwide cooperative framework, also unrelated to the code. The City of DeBary's irrigation system improvement project involves Hunter brand controllers and flow meters, again outside the code's scope. None of these solicitations target nephelite specifically, nor do they address mineral supply, industrial mineral products, or related commodities that the code nominally covers.

State and local governments issuing under this code in the recent-opportunities block include the City of Fort Worth (Texas), Sourcewell on behalf of participating Washington counties and broader public entities, and the City of DeBary (Florida). Geographic activity spans Texas, Washington, and Florida based on these records, though the Sourcewell cooperative covers jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada. The mismatch between the code classification and actual procurement work suggests either that nephelite is rarely solicited by state and local entities or that opportunities in this commodity are tagged inconsistently. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether recent opportunities matching genuine nephelite demand exist outside this dataset before committing pursuit resources.
