UNSPSC 11101519: Rough diamond

Diamond mined from the earth that has not been polished or cut.

UNSPSC 11101519 Rough diamond (Commodity) shows limited relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida), structural steel and metal materials supply (City of Fort Worth, Texas), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative on behalf of Minnesota counties and other U.S. jurisdictions). None of these solicitations concern rough diamonds or gemstone procurement. The code's nominal scope — uncut, unpolished diamond material — does not align with the construction, materials supply, and equipment categories that recent postings reflect.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Washington, with the Sourcewell cooperative reaching thousands of public entities nationwide. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (DeBary and Fort Worth), a state-chartered cooperative (Sourcewell), and participating county entities. The mismatch between the code's definition and actual solicitation content suggests the code is either rarely used by state and local procurement offices for legitimate rough-diamond purchases or has been incorrectly tagged on these opportunities by the posting systems. For business development professionals pursuing state and local work under this Commodity code, the recent activity provides no actionable signal for rough-diamond procurement at the state or local level.
