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 (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally represents pyrophyllite, a mineral used in ceramics, refractories, and industrial applications, yet the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve irrigation system construction, structural metals procurement, and law enforcement equipment — none of which involve pyrophyllite or products derived from it. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local jurisdictions are not actively soliciting pyrophyllite or pyrophyllite-based products through competitive procurement channels at present.

The recent opportunities on file span the City of DeBary, Florida (irrigation system improvements, April 2015 deadline); the City of Fort Worth, Texas (structural metals and rebar, July 2026 response date); and Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and national participating entities (law enforcement equipment, June 2026 deadline). None of these solicitations relate to pyrophyllite procurement. Without evidence of actual state and local buying activity for pyrophyllite or pyrophyllite-containing products in the available records, pursuit under this code is not supported by current market signals.
