UNSPSC 11101904: Nickel matte

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

UNSPSC 11101904 Nickel matte, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve structural steel and aluminum materials, law enforcement equipment, and park irrigation systems — none of which involve nickel matte as a primary commodity or input material. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the code incorrectly or that nickel matte procurement does not currently drive solicitation activity at the state and local level in the dataset.

The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0222 on June 24, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis, with a 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms located in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment intended for use across participating entities in Washington state and beyond. Neither solicitation addresses nickel matte directly. The code exhibits no documented recent activity aligned with its commodity definition, and business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether nickel matte procurement occurs through different codes or procurement channels before pursuing this category.
