UNSPSC 11101600: Ores

UNSPSC 11101600 Ores is a Class code that encompasses raw mineral materials including metals, aggregates, and related extraction products. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with ore procurement itself. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) seeks aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis—finished metal products and fabricated goods rather than raw ores. The City of DeBary's irrigation system project involves Hunter brand components and piping, unrelated to ore sourcing. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) addresses equipment procurement across multiple jurisdictions and entity types, also outside ore scope. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices and cooperative purchasing authorities, but the actual work being bought does not track to ore supply or extraction.

The geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, and a multistate cooperative anchored in Minnesota and Washington, but the code shows limited recent activity genuinely aligned with ore procurement at the state and local level. The Fort Worth solicitation is the most concrete match for a metals-related supply agreement, though it targets finished goods rather than raw ores. No representative ore-extraction, ore-supply, or mineral-sourcing opportunities appear in the recent record. State and local procurement under this code does not show material current activity.
