UNSPSC 11101517: Steatite

UNSPSC 11101517 Steatite (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single relevant opportunity on record involves materials procurement, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect purchases of steatite ceramic material itself. Instead, the posted opportunities span irrigation system installation services, structural metals procurement, and law enforcement equipment contracting — none of which map to steatite manufacturing or supply. The code appears to see little active state and local buying for the ceramic material it nominally describes.

The most recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from the City of DeBary, Florida (irrigation system improvements, bid posted October 19, 2026, due April 10, 2015); the City of Fort Worth, Texas (aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials, RFP 26-0222 posted June 24, 2026, due July 23, 2026); and Sourcewell on behalf of multiple counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions nationwide (law enforcement equipment, RFP 061626 posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026). The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, and Washington, with Sourcewell's cooperative structure reaching public entities across the United States and Canada. None of these opportunities relate materially to steatite sourcing or supply, signaling that this code either is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended commodity classification or has been misapplied to unrelated work.
