UNSPSC 11101533: Pyrophyllite

Very soft, pale-colored silicate mineral, hydrated aluminum silicate, Al2 OH 2 Si4O10, that is the main constituent of some schistose rocks.

UNSPSC 11101533 Pyrophyllite, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve structural metals (aluminum, iron, rebar, steel), law enforcement equipment, and park irrigation infrastructure — none of which represent pyrophyllite procurement. State and local governments source pyrophyllite, a mineral used in refractories, ceramics, and industrial applications, but the tagged opportunities reveal a code-tagging mismatch rather than active demand for the mineral itself.

The single opportunity with plausible connection to industrial materials sourcing is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026, with proposals due July 23, 2026, for a non-exclusive supply agreement for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis under a best-value procurement framework. Fort Worth has set a 30 percent small business participation goal and requires vendors to demonstrate five years' experience, maintain 48-hour delivery capability, and carry $1 million commercial general liability coverage. The other two opportunities — a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and a City of DeBary irrigation system upgrade — fall entirely outside pyrophyllite's typical end markets. Until recent opportunities begin consistently tagging actual pyrophyllite purchases across state and local jurisdictions, this code's activity should be treated as dormant for procurement targeting purposes.
