UNSPSC 11101712: Ferrous alloy

UNSPSC 11101712 Ferrous alloy is a Commodity code that describes structural and reinforcing metals in various forms, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026, solicits supply of aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis for municipal projects, with vendors required to hold five years' experience, maintain inventory or supplier access for 48-hour delivery, and meet ASTM, ANSI, and AISC standards. The City of DeBary's Bid 03-15 for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation improvements, due April 10, 2015, is plainly unrelated to ferrous alloy procurement — it involves irrigation controller and piping installation. A third opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, is similarly outside the code's scope. The ferrous alloy code shows little recent relevant activity in state and local procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, though the Sourcewell procurement (administered by a Minnesota local government unit but available to participating entities across the United States and Canada) represents a much broader cooperative purchasing framework that does not align with ferrous metal supply. The Fort Worth opportunity reflects active municipal demand for structural materials on a non-exclusive supply agreement, with evaluation weighted 25 points toward small business participation, 25 points toward vendor experience, and 20 points toward delivery capability. The presence of a 30 percent small business participation goal and a requirement for vendors within Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County signals local preference within the procurement structure. Payment terms are Net 30 Days, and vendors must carry $1 million per occurrence commercial general liability insurance. The narrow window between Fort Worth's posting (June 24, 2026) and response deadline (July 23, 2026) reflects typical municipal procurement cycles for commodity supply agreements.
