UNSPSC 11101719: Zinc

UNSPSC 11101719 Zinc is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida), structural metals supply (City of Fort Worth, Texas), and law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell cooperative), none of which involve zinc as a primary procurement object or material specification. The code does not appear to be in active use for zinc procurement at the state and local level based on recent solicitation activity.

The mismatch between the code's name and recent opportunities suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that zinc procurement falls under different UNSPSC categories in current state and local practice. Sourcing zinc through state and local channels may occur under parent Family or Class codes, through cooperative purchasing agreements not tagged to this Commodity code, or as an incidental material component within larger construction or manufacturing contracts. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used by target jurisdictions for zinc procurement before investing pursuit effort here, and consider whether opportunities in structural metals (such as the Fort Worth RFP for aluminum, iron, and rebar) might provide a relevant alternative entry point if zinc or zinc-coated products are part of broader metals-supply relationships.
