UNSPSC 11101902: Nickel concentrate

An intermediate ore product which is produced from nickel ore and traded in the market

UNSPSC 11101902 Nickel concentrate is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers nickel ore and concentrate products, but the three most recent opportunities posted under this classification involve structural metals (aluminum, iron, rebar, steel), law enforcement equipment, and irrigation system installation — none of which represent nickel sourcing or concentrate procurement. The mismatch suggests that the code may be used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems or that nickel concentrate itself sees little demand from the jurisdictions tracked in current solicitation feeds.

The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026, with a due date of July 23, 2026, which seeks a non-exclusive supply agreement for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis — a structural metals procurement that overlaps tangentially with the metallic-commodities family but not with nickel concentrate specifically. The City of Fort Worth has set a 30 percent small business participation goal and requires five years' minimum vendor experience with structural steel and metal products, 48-hour delivery capability, and compliance with ASTM, ANSI, and AISC standards. No recent state and local solicitations in the available block target nickel concentrate directly, and the code does not appear active in current procurement activity across Texas, Florida, Washington, or Minnesota jurisdictions represented in the sample.
