UNSPSC 11101901: Iron ore concentrate

Iron ore that has been further processed to concentrate iron content

UNSPSC 11101901 Iron ore concentrate is a Commodity code that, despite its designation, does not reflect the materials actually being procured by state and local governments under this classification in recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal alignment with iron ore concentrate procurement and instead span broader metal supply agreements, law enforcement equipment, and park infrastructure projects—categories substantially removed from raw mineral concentrate sourcing. State and local procurement offices rarely solicit iron ore concentrate as a standalone commodity; the code appears to serve principally as a catch-all classification for metal-related materials procurement when more specific commodity codes do not apply.

The most recent and relevant opportunity is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026), which solicits non-exclusive supply agreements for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis—a broader metals-supply scope than ore concentrate alone. The city has imposed a 30 percent small business participation goal for vendors located in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County, requires five years of prior experience in structural steel and metal products, and mandates 48-hour delivery to city locations. The remaining recent opportunities—Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (due June 16, 2026) and the City of DeBary's park irrigation project (bid posted April 2026)—do not substantively relate to iron ore concentrate and suggest tagging inconsistency rather than actual procurement demand under this code. Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida in the recent record, with minimal signal of sustained demand specifically for iron ore concentrate at the state and local level.
