UNSPSC 11101527: Diatomaceous silica

UNSPSC 11101527 Diatomaceous silica is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code — a municipal irrigation system project (City of DeBary, Florida), a metals supply RFP (City of Fort Worth, Texas), and a cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other jurisdictions) — do not involve diatomaceous silica or related mineral products. The irrigation project calls for installation of Hunter brand controller equipment and piping; the Fort Worth RFP seeks aluminum, iron, rebar, and structural steel; and the Sourcewell RFP addresses law enforcement equipment broadly. None of these scopes align with diatomaceous earth or silica mineral procurement. Diatomaceous silica is typically used in filtration, industrial abrasives, and food-grade applications, but state and local buyers do not appear to be tagging those needs under this code at present.

Without current opportunities under 11101527, business development activity is not actionable. Monitor the code for future activity, but do not pursue based on the tagged opportunities visible today — they represent tagging errors rather than genuine demand signals in the diatomaceous silica category.
