UNSPSC 11101619: Vermiculite ore

UNSPSC 11101619 Vermiculite ore is a Commodity code for raw or processed vermiculite mineral used in construction, insulation, horticultural, and industrial applications. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct relevance to vermiculite procurement; instead, the posted solicitations reflect broader materials and equipment categories including irrigation system components, structural metals, and law enforcement equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code appear to include municipal public works departments, city procurement offices, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state through Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional cooperative), though the sample is too limited to characterize concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary, Florida's irrigation system improvement project (Bid 03-15, due April 10, 2015, $90,000 engineer's estimate, IFB); the City of Fort Worth's RFP for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis (RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026, with a 30 percent small business participation goal); and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026, serving multiple Washington counties and public entities nationwide). The code shows little recent activity directly aligned with vermiculite ore procurement; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect a classification mismatch rather than substantive state and local demand for vermiculite products.
