UNSPSC 11101616: Gold ore

UNSPSC 11101616 Gold ore (Commodity) shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—Rob Sullivan Park irrigation improvements in DeBary, Florida; aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel supply for Fort Worth; and law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell—are unrelated to gold ore extraction, refining, or trading. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring gold ore as a commodity, and the code does not map to the work actually being solicited in these records.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local opportunities reflects either tagging error in the source data or the code's minimal relevance to current public-sector buying. No issuing bodies, geographic clusters, or representative procurement patterns support gold ore as an active line item in state or local budgets. If your firm pursues natural-resource or raw-materials supply, verify the applicable UNSPSC codes in individual RFPs and RFQs rather than relying on this category to signal opportunity.
