UNSPSC 11101624: Magnetite ore

A ferrimagnetic mineral with chemical formula Fe 3 O 4, one of several iron oxides and a member of the spinel group. Used for separating coal from rock.

UNSPSC 11101624 Magnetite ore, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with state and local procurement of mineral ores. The one relevant opportunity in the recent record is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 for Aluminum, Iron, Rebar, and Steel (due July 23, 2026), which solicits structural steel, aluminum products, iron products, and reinforcing steel in various grades and finishes on an as-needed basis under a non-exclusive blanket agreement. This work requires vendors to demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience supplying these materials, maintain sufficient inventory or supplier relationships to meet routine and emergency orders with 48-hour delivery to City-designated locations, and comply with ASTM International, ANSI, and AISC manufacturing standards. The Fort Worth RFP weights cost at 15 points, small business participation at 25 points (with a 30 percent goal for certified small businesses in a five-county region), vendor experience and past performance at 25 points, delivery capabilities at 20 points, and business location within City Limits at 15 points. The remaining two opportunities in the source—a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and a City of DeBary park irrigation project—fall outside the scope of magnetite ore procurement and indicate that this code receives limited state and local solicitation activity focused specifically on mineral ore supply.

Activity under UNSPSC 11101624 appears concentrated in Texas, specifically with the City of Fort Worth. The code shows no evidence of multi-jurisdictional state-level procurement initiatives, regional cooperative buying programs, or broad geographic spread across school districts, transit authorities, or other typical state and local buyers. The Fort Worth opportunity is the sole recent solicitation demonstrating active procurement of iron and steel materials on behalf of a city government. State and local entities using this code would be those with routine construction, maintenance, or infrastructure projects requiring bulk metal supplies, though the recent record does not support characterizing this as an active or competitive category at present.
