UNSPSC 11101900: Intermediate processed and refined ore products

Intermediate ore products derived from the processing and refining of raw ore as mined.

UNSPSC 11101900 Intermediate processed and refined ore products is a Class code that encompasses metals and metal products supplied to state and local government entities on an as-needed basis for construction, infrastructure, and maintenance work. State and local governments buy structural steel, aluminum, rebar, iron, and expanded metal in various grades and specifications under this code, along with finished metal components and assemblies. The mix of issuing bodies includes cities procuring materials for public works projects, counties participating in cooperative purchasing vehicles, and regional authorities sourcing metals through framework agreements. The City of Fort Worth and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity with multi-state and multi-jurisdictional participation) represent the repeat-buyer pattern in recent activity.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas and the Pacific Northwest. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0222 on June 24, 2026 for a non-exclusive supply agreement covering aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials with proposals due July 23, 2026; the procurement established a 30 percent small business participation goal for vendors certified and located in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County, with evaluation weighting delivery capabilities and cost heavily. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state alongside numerous other public entities nationwide. A third opportunity, Bid 0315 from the City of DeBary, Florida, involved irrigation system components rather than metals processing or refinement, suggesting potential code-tagging misalignment in state and local systems.
