UNSPSC 11101705: Aluminum

UNSPSC 11101705 Aluminum is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure aluminum products under this code primarily as structural materials, raw feedstock for treatment processes, and components for infrastructure projects. Recent opportunities show aluminum being purchased in two distinct contexts: as fabricated structural and reinforcing materials (aluminum, steel, rebar, and iron supplied on an as-needed basis for municipal construction and maintenance), and as chemical compounds (aluminum chlorohydrate solution for water treatment). The issuing-body mix includes city procurement departments (Fort Worth, Scottsdale, DeBary, Florida), water utilities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. A state of Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity (Sourcewell) recently solicited law enforcement equipment that may include aluminum components, though the available documentation does not specify material composition.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Arizona, Texas, and Florida. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0222 in June 2026 (proposals due July 23, 2026) for a non-exclusive term agreement to supply aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis with a 30 percent small business participation goal and evaluation weighting toward cost, small business participation, vendor experience, delivery capability, and local business location. The City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department posted RFP 27RFP105 on October 1, 2026 (proposals due October 30, 2026) for supply and delivery of Aluminum Chlorohydrate 50% solution for water treatment at the Chaparral Water Treatment Plant. The City of DeBary, Florida posted a competitive irrigation project (Bid 0315, April 10, 2015 deadline) that included aluminum and related components as part of a broader irrigation system upgrade, though this opportunity predates recent activity and the posted due date is historical.
