UNSPSC 11101619: Vermiculite ore

UNSPSC 11101619 Vermiculite ore, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers vermiculite ore extraction and distribution, but the three most recent opportunities tagged under this classification involve structural metals procurement (aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel), law enforcement equipment, and park irrigation system installation — none of which involve vermiculite ore as a primary commodity or material input. The mismatch suggests either a classification artifact in the source database or that state and local governments rarely solicit vermiculite ore directly through formal procurement channels.

No relevant recent opportunities support active market activity under this code's stated scope. The City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026 with a July 23, 2026 response deadline, solicits structural metals on a non-exclusive, as-needed basis with a 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms in the Fort Worth region; however, this is a metals procurement unrelated to vermiculite ore. Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP #061626 and the City of DeBary's irrigation system bid are similarly unrelated to the commodity code's stated scope. Without evidence of genuine vermiculite ore solicitations in the recent state and local market, pursuit activity under this code does not warrant development focus at this time.
