UNSPSC 11101620: Thorium ore

UNSPSC 11101620 Thorium ore is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve structural metals (aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel), law enforcement equipment, and park irrigation system installation—none of which represent thorium ore sourcing. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring thorium ore through public contract solicitations at present, and the opportunities recorded under this code reflect significant classification mismatches rather than demand for radioactive or rare-earth mineral commodities.

The City of Fort Worth issued the only structurally relevant opportunity: RFP 26-0222 for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis with a July 23, 2026 response deadline, requiring five years' experience in structural metals and 48-hour delivery capability with a 30 percent small business participation goal. No other state or local issuing bodies have posted recent solicitations for thorium ore or comparable mineral commodities under this code. Geographic activity, where it exists, is limited to Texas (Fort Worth), with cooperative purchasing activity through Sourcewell (Minnesota) appearing in the opportunity log but focused on law enforcement equipment rather than mining commodities. The code's recent posting history does not support pursuit unless your firm's service mix extends to structural metals or general government procurement categories unrelated to thorium sourcing.
